House Committee On Information Technology Meets Tomorrow
October 26 2009 14:05 Filed in: Technology
Tomorrow the Ad Hoc Legislative Committee on Agency Information Technology will host its first hearing in House Hearing Room 3 at 9:00 a.m. with Rep. David Stevens (R-Sierra Vista) as the chairman.
The interim Information Technology committee will focus on the effective delivery of service, improved interaction with business and industry, increased transparency and the reduction of costs to the public through the use of an e-Government system.
“With the present systems that are nearly 30 years old there doesn’t seem to be a guided vision for the state. We have an opportunity at the Legislature to provide guidance and direction to the state and hopefully to streamline e-Government to modernize and standardize the current infrastructure. I plan on using my 30 years of IT experience to accomplish just that,” Rep. Stevens said.
Committee members will hear testimony from the Department of Revenue, Department of Transportation, Government Information Technology and Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System regarding their current infrastructure and needs. Committee members will also conduct a tour of AHCCCS after the hearing.
