IT Procurement Reform Forum

AeA is organizing five "by invitation only" forums throughout California in partnership with Senator Liz Figueroa, Chair of the Senate Committee on Government Modernization, Efficiency and Accountability. The Sacramento Forum is the second in the series of meetings; the other cities and dates are Santa Clara, June 24 - Orange County, August 8 - Los Angeles, August 12 and San Diego October 28. The immediate goal is to gather input from all stakeholders on how to improve procurement policy and processis for IT functions within State of California operations and for IT interoperability between state agencies and local governments. The broader goal is to ensure that state and local governments are "on the same page" when they buy technology, and that they utilize technology that will make state and local programs easier to manage, more efficient and less expensive to operate.
