Jump to today's or tomorrow's technology By: S. James Willis Government agencies, with their directories full of rotting, static HTML docs, are ripe to skip right to the front of the class in the move to Web 2.0. Here's a must-read article from Tim O'Reilly. #permalink   Oct 5, 2005 7:13 am  8:46:22 PM    comment [] GovTech on the State of California's IT Covered in a GovTech Article, California State CIO Clark Kelso addressed the direction and tasks in front of California IT, the New Department of Technology Services(DTS) and the citizen of the Golden State. As a citizen, you might wonder how the state services will improve through technology. Clark Kelso mentioned this challenge: "to think hard about what it takes -- organizationally -- to do IT right because that is the big issue from the legislative perspective and certainly from the public's perspective," Kelso believes the state is doing IT right most of the time, but IT is a risky venture. "And doing IT right is very much a matter of proper risk management," he said. From my recent reading of pragmatic Bruce Schneier's Beyond Fear, we need to move beyond the emotional reactions, panic and anxiety, to do the hard planning that gets the right IT done the right way. My bias, IT Service Management is "documented Common Sense." Listen to a good overview ITIL podcast from Ken Turbitt on the Big Picture. 8:39:59 PM    comment []
