Government modernization makes everyone’s life better. Modernization makes the jobs of state employees easier with greater productivity. Businesses in the private sector can move projects forward more quickly. Nonprofit organizations contracted by the state to provide needed services in the community can receive payments in a timely manner.

One of the most important aspects of IT transformation is employee communications and change management. Paying attention to the people aspects of change is vitally necessary for a switch to new hardware or software to be successful. I personally like the way the Governor is moving modernization forward and getting all of the right people in place to create this change.
