SACRAMENTO, Calif. — State officials took to the stage to discuss upcoming technology initiatives and what they see on the horizon for 2016 at the TechWire State of Technology Industry Forum Tuesday morning, Dec. 1.
The three-person panel consisted of representatives from the Department of Justice (DOJ), Department of Technology and the State Treasurer’s Office, and highlighted where each agency would focus technological efforts in the coming year.
Jan Ross, CIO of the State Treasurer’s Office, said her agency would be looking toward alternative procurement models in 2016. Specifically with regard to the debt management system, Ross said work is underway to improve the system without a complete replacement.
The debt management system is dated, but is based around a functional core. Ross said vendors suggested bolstering auxiliary system supports as opposed to replacing the 2004 legacy system.
“We learned that the core of the debt management system, which is an Oracle platform, is a very viable platform still. And with greater expertise than is currently in house at the State Treasurer’s Office, we could actually build in the functionality of the auxiliary systems that are supporting it. If we took that approach of modernizing what we already have, then we could reduce the scope of our requirements.”
