Vision 2023: Transforming Ohio Through Technology

The technology revolution that has reshaped consumer markets has now arrived at the state level. Case in point: the State of Ohio, where state, local and educational organizations are moving quickly to integrate innovative technologies that can drive better decision-making while lowering the cost of ownership for IT systems. Incorporating new technologies also creates opportunities to reimagine the future workforce, for both the public and private sectors.

Guiding Ohio’s transformation is the Department of Administrative Services’ IT Innovation Technology Strategic Plan for 2020-2022, which focuses on digital experience, data analytics, enterprise shared services, on premise or in public clouds, and collaboration. The strategic plan identifies five priorities: cybersecurity and risk management; digital services/digital government; data management and analytics; identity and access management; and workforce. To deliver on these priorities, the InnovateOhio Platform provides integrated, scalable capabilities that enable agencies to become more user-centric and data-driven.

Join us, online or at this live event, as thought leaders from Ohio agencies and the business community discuss their high-level vision and day-to-day objectives in adopting new technologies to revolutionize government IT.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify ways Ohio agencies are incorporating innovative technologies into new user-oriented experiences
• Delineate metrics being used to quantify cost savings, measure security and accessibility, and improve the human-centered government experience'
• Review cybersecurity measures being taken by agencies to protect critical infrastructure and provide secure services to Ohio residents and companies
