A 2023 Quick Take from the State CIO

Texas CIO Amanda Crawford, executive director of the Department of Information Resources (DIR), recently told Government Technology what stood out to her as a central technology theme in 2023.

“I think there’s a theme of technology acceptance. Overwhelmingly across the business we’re seeing acceptance of technology as a cost center that’s not going away and that, in fact, is necessary in order to be able to continue to meet the demands of the constituencies we serve. Technology absolutely has to be a partner in that. And we’re seeing more and more the business side of agencies accepting that and looking to modernize and revolutionize their platforms.”
