What Worked and What Didn’t • What worked… • Relentless pursuit of vision • Adaptation, not adoption • Leadership & sponsorship • Talented, dedicated staff • Collaboration and cooperation • Lessons? • Do it sooner • Do it backwards • Say “no” more often • Integrate first, then transform • Be data driven
What We Accomplished • Improved governance and oversight of IT investments • Centralized procurement to leverage IT investments • Achieved $16.7 million in cost savings and cost avoidances in FY04 • Provided value-add to citizens, customers, and localities • Earned national recognition • Best managed state, Government Performance Project • National 3rd place ranking, 2004 Digital States Survey • National 3rd place ranking, 2004 Best of the Web • Winner of two 2004 NASCIO Recognition Awards
Transformation Priorities & Challenges • Private Sector Partnerships thru the “PPEA”(Public/Private Educational Facilities & Infrastructure Act of 2002) • Infrastructure and Enterprise Applications tracks • Two competitors in each track • Infrastructure Due Diligence (April) • Enterprise Applications Due Diligence (May) • Detailed proposals (June/July) • Review and potential comprehensive agreement (Nov 1) • Enterprise architecture and standardization • Enterprise & investment thinking • Business development & marketing • Shared services & pricing model • Security
What Does Transformation Mean? • Better citizen service Common, shared infrastructure enables seamless, friendly, and responsive government service delivery to citizens and business (anytime/anywhere) • Economic development opportunitiesPlans to locate “hot” data center back-up site in a rural, Virginia community, and expand broadband deployment • Cost savings to localitiesLocal governments, K-12 schools, and public libraries have already saved $8 million by purchasing IT goods and services from state contracts
