  1. Brave New World: The Future of IT in Washington Mike Ricchio Director Consolidated Technology Services September 28, 2011

  2. Agencies focus on their individual missions, not IT infrastructure Enterprise Approach forState Government • Move to more centralized approach to IT • Cohesive, strategic, IT policies for all state agency IT shops • Common standards and policies developed and maintained for hardware, software, storage, services and security

  3. Standardization • Consolidation • Economies of scale Goal Deliver high quality IT services to state agencies at the lowest possible cost to taxpayers • Ensure alignment of business needs and IT services • Measure IT costs and performance • Consolidate data centers • Investigate alternate, most cost-effective methods to deliver services • Leverage the state’s investment in the State Data Center

  4. A hybrid - federated approach SB 5931 • Dissolves the Department of Information Services • Establishes Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) within OFM • Establishes Consolidated Technology Services (CTS) as a separate agency • Moves “back office” functions to Department of Enterprise Services (DES)

  5. CTS: a new beginning “State agencies shall locate all existing and new servers in the state data center.” • Director appointed by Governor • Duties • Central service provider for all utility-based infrastructure services • Accountability • Costs, efficiencies and customer satisfaction • Works collaboratively with customers

  6. Transition Strategy State took possession of new state data center in July, 2011 • Continue consolidation, standardization and shared services efforts • Bring disciplined analysis to business and IT issues • ISB abolished, TSB formed and staffed • Drive to competitive rates • Work with outside partners to identify qualified solutions • outsource services where economically feasible

  7. Looking Forward • Budget challenges will continue • Look to technology to provide practical solutions • Continued political target • Continued pressure to outsource IT as budgetary solution • Service and rate accountability to continue • Demands continue to reduce rates and elevate service

  8. CTS To Date • Hired ProjectCorps to assist with mission, organization and change management • Consultant (TPI) drafting Private Cloud RFP • Exempt employees required under 5931 being established • Internet and Intranet sites up • With DES and OCIO, sorting out who does what.
