Strategic Economic and Energy Development (S.E.E.D.) is a proposed government corporation that advises United States agencies to implement new technologies to save time and money. While government agencies are given funds to upgrade their technology, many times they hire different contractors which results in an ineffective, decentralized system with a steep learning curve. S.E.E.D. aims to curb this unnecessary spending and ensure that the government receives long term, interoperable solutions that not only save money, but also help create jobs and improve our infrastructure. All technologies are tested against many non-negotiable requirements including interoperability, a centralized system, and a mandatory completion of a cost/benefit analysis.

Famous quotes containing the words strategic, economic, energy and/or development:
“If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“The economic dependence of woman and her apparently indestructible illusion that marriage will release her from loneliness and work and worry are potent factors in immunizing her from common sense in dealing with men at work.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“All my energy and attention were devoted to trying to help her solve her problems. Unfortunately I didn’t have much success.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“Sleep hath its own world,
And a wide realm of wild reality.
And dreams in their development have breath,
And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
