IT Reorganization Tops Efficiency Roadmap
IT tops the list of Governor Schwarzenegger's 18 ways to consolidate, eliminate and reorganize government that will streamline responsibilities, improve efficiency and save billions of dollars in his Roadmap for More Efficient Government released in January.
The reorganization will establish the Office of the State CIO as the central IT organization for increased coordination, efficiency, reduced costs and improved energy efficiency through state-wide IT shared services resulting in a savings of approximately $1.5 billion over five years.
Conference on California's Future Advisory Board Chair and State CIO Teri Takai will be addressing the largest gathering of state and local IT professionals at this event regarding the rollout of this reorganization plan to integrate four agencies and consolidate software contracts, office automation tools, data centers, storage and networks.
State CIO's California IT Strategic Plan and State-wide Five Year IT Capital Plan dovetail with the Governor's Reorganization Plan
"The Strategic Plan is both a white paper and a blueprint for state officials to pursue as California enters into the next generation of computers and technology."
-- Teri Takai, California State CIO
Projects included in the recently released Capital Plan were chosen for their business value and their alignment with the six strategic concepts laid out in the IT Strategic Plan: IT as reliable as electricity; fulfilling technology's potential to transform lives; self-governance in the digital age; information as an asset; economic and sustainable; and facilitating collaboration.
The Conference on California's Future may very well be a critical forum for movement and decisions regarding the Strategic Plan. We look forward to seeing you there.
