State of IT in the Commonwealth
Findings from 2015 IT Review
Digital: 76% of constituents interact with us online, yet satisfaction is low
Security: Immature practices across decentralized organization increase our risk
Spending: Under-invested in core infrastructure, operating, and end-user support; Over-invested in bespoke application development
