Opinion: State computer systems fail new audit
The Golden State remains the global center of private-sector information technology, yet Sacramento is incapable of harnessing the capabilities of Silicon Valley toward getting government technology up to speed.
The CDT employs about 1,000 people and has been allocated $830 million in Gov. Gavin Newsom’s January budget proposal for fiscal year 2023-24. It is by no means a small department. Getting the state’s IT sector in order is crucial because, as of November 2022, the state is spending an additional $3.7 billion on IT projects at 20 different agencies.
These all sound like common sense. If only state government officials could focus on the basics of government.
