They need more information about the X.500 directory and what role it will play in state government. IT Expenditure Tracking OT Scott Malm noted that agency heads should have received the instructions on how to gather data needed for the February 1 report to the legislature. He is working with Administration to get a commodity report. Mr. Malm is trying to put together data related to the current systems status needed for the December 1 report. Office of Technology will issue an electronic reporting format to collect data into a single database.
Participation is welcome.
Scott Malm will staff the Biennial Budget Format committee to work on improving the IT budget format and make it a more workable document. They will try to reduce the burden of agencies submitting multiple information. At the kick-off meeting they agreed the document should move in a strategic direction in terms of building connections between systems. The next meeting is scheduled for October 21. Participation is needed, especially from the larger number agencies.
