Technology Investment Must Go Beyond Single Use Cases – Government Technology

One of the challenges gov tech leaders continue to face is the balance between a focus on maintaining what they currently have in their portfolios with what is out on the horizon that may benefit their jurisdictions.
At the National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) Annual conference last week, West Virginia Chief Technology Officer Josh Spence discussed how solutions that may seem advantageous for current operations might not really be in the state’s best financial interest in the long term. Technology must have broader applications.
“We need to look at and understand how we operate business today, but then forecast where we want to be in the future and let technology take us there,” he said.
By prioritizing what is essential to the enterprise and therefore worth funding, West Virginia will be able to maintain its systems in the event of a disruption or major shift in how technology serves the organization going forward.
