Organizing for Success
With the creation of the OCIO, the Governor and the Legislature established the structure on which to build a durable information technology program. A strong foundation is so important because the information and program demands in California are like no other state.
Striving to be Number One
The story of IT in California is one of many successes and a few failures. Technology projects, stewarded by a combination of hardworking state employees, involved executives, and a watchful legislature, have provided services to millions of Californians in an efficient and effective manner.
Facing the Future
The six strategic concepts present in Book 3 will establish the future direction for state IT. These strategies anticipate a future in which Californians and their government will be highly dependent on access to rich multi-media information – information that is widely available and easily accessible over the Internet.
Capital Plan
The Five-Year Statewide Information Technology Capital Plan (ITCP) integrates business planning with technology planning, providing the ability to develop technology solutions in the context of business priorities, while addressing enterprise standards and leveraging opportunities.
