US Department of the Interior - NBC Aviation Management Directorate

Description

Douglas J. Bourgeois became the Director of the National Business Center (NBC) in the Department of the Interior on October, 1, 2004. The NBC provides business services to government agencies in the areas of Financial Management, Human Resources Management, Training, Acquisitions, Information Technology Hosting, Aviation Services, Appraisal Services, and other administrative areas. His vision for the NBC is to be a world-class center of business excellence, innovation, and accountability. Toward this end, Mr. Bourgeois has focused his attention on establishing the NBC as an operational center of excellence that delivers high-quality services to meet the needs of NBC customers in an efficient and cost-conscious manner.

Prior to joining Interior, Mr. Bourgeois served as the Chief Information Officer at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) from May of 2001 until September of 2004. In this role, he served as the principal advisor to the Commissioner of the USPTO and Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property on the application of information technology to support and improve USPTO business processes. He directed the development, implementation, maintenance, enhancement, and operation of USPTO's automated information systems and the development of supporting strategic and operational information technology plans.

During his tenure at the USPTO, Mr. Bourgeois led the successful migration of the Office to electronic government operations. Some notable accomplishments include the migration of the Patent examination process to an online environment, providing Internet access for the public to published Patent applications under review, eliminating 25 million paper copies of granted Patents due electronic availability, technology support of an award winning work at home program for Trademarks, and a Trademarks electronic filing rate that consistently exceeds 75%.
