Western CIO Forum to be held in August Remedy, best known as a help desk solution, has a new product called "Citizen Service".  Since we own the help desk product, we may want to look into this as a way to extend the value of Remedy to the state.  I have also asked that we look into the value of NextPage's GetSmart for Remedy product. I missed this interview with Val Oveson in Baseline magazine.  Val discusses ROI and metrics. The Western CIO Forum 2004 is scheduled to be held in Santa Fe on August 1-3.  Utah's enterprise architect, Randy Hughes will be on a "Web Services in e-Government" panel.  I think with the changes in Western Governors leadership that we will see less focus on information technology and more on the Greater Sage Grouse.  Not a bad thing, just different. Pennsylvania is still having problems with their statewide voice (radio) network.  Reports say it has cost about $240 million and is still far from complete.  In Utah, we have made a lot of progress with UWIN and are now really pushing the 700 MHz mobile data component with much of the voice solution now in place.
