CA Tech Services Board to Reduce OTech Rates by $34 million

The Technology Services Board (TSB) is expected to approve a rate reduction package for the Office of Technology Services (OTech) today at a meeting, announced the California Technology Agency. The board will take up the OTech Rate Package for Fiscal Year (FY) 2011/12 and FY 2012/13 as well as receive an update on the statewide consolidation effort mandated by AB 2408, among other regular business.

If approved, the reduction will save OTech customers, state and local agencies, approximately $21.5 million in FY 2011/12 and $13 million in FY 2012/13. These savings come from recent customer consolidation efforts that have increased the demand for OTech services, allowing OTech to reduce rates, according to the announcement.

Consisting of members of the Governor’s cabinet, the TSB governs rates and services offered by OTech, which provides provides IT services to state, federal and local governments throughout California.
