Sharing

Matt Miszewski, State Chief Information Officer

Thursday, February 24, 2005 Wisconsin Land Information Association Annual

ConferenceGreen Bay

Introduction

The way government agencies at all levels are used to doing business is not the way we need to do business now in order to promote information sharing and improve service delivery.

Background

From the standpoint of advancing e-government and making government more citizen-centered, the importance of information sharing and integrated systems has been clear for many years.

These aren’t new ideas. The technology to take advantage of them in large part already exists. What’s been missing is the organizational component.

9-11 Changed the Timeline for Government Information

Integration Efforts

Destroying government agency silos is no longer an admirable long-term goal – it’s a present-day imperative.

State of Wisconsin’s Enterprise Information

TechnologyDivision of Enterprise Technology (DET) runs the infrastructure for systems that state and local governments use on a daily basis.

State CIO’s job:

• Keep that infrastructure running effectively and e efficiently.• Manage enterprise IT activities.

DET and theExtended Enterprise

Governor Doyle’s vision of the enterprise: It can’t be focused only on state agencies. We have to operate as an enterprise that includes state agencies AND all other levels of government that affect our citizens.

BHAG

DET’s Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG): We will revolutionize the delivery of services by destroying the barriers to borderless government.

BHAG: GETTING FROMHERE TO THERE

How do we bring about fundamental change in the enterprise IT environment in a time of shrinking budgets?

Stockdale Paradox

BHAG: GETTING FROMHERE TO THERE

•Bringing in the Legislature

•Including local and tribal government representatives on enterprise IT governance councils

•Including representatives from local government and the UW on the Wisconsin Enterprise Architecture Team (WEAT)

WHAT THE BHAG MEANS FOR LAND INFORMATION

SHARING

•WEAT is reviewing what we’ve learned from the Wisconsin Land Information System (WLIS) pilot and recommending options for future infrastructure and intergovernmental integration.

TECHNOLOGY CAN HELP, TOO: ENTERPRISE SERVICES BUS (ESB)

•Integration middleware can link disparate systems with greater security and less cost.

•ESB is a fundamental component of an overall State Integration Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF NATIONWIDE COLLABORATION

•Open source/standards

•CORE.GOV – source for reusable application components – both NASCIO and the state are pursuing ways to provide local governments with access to CORE.GOV resources

•NASCIO emphasizing communications and collaboration to ensure state and local efforts are synchronized with federal initiatives

THE BHAG CHANGES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE

STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT CUSTOMERS

The direction of enterprise IT in Wisconsin means that, for many systems, agencies will take on the role of facilitators and enablers to assist local governments in their role as direct service providers.

WHAT WE STRESS WITHOUR ENTERPRISE PARTNERS

•From now on, it’s not about assigning blame.

CAN WE TACKLE DATA INTEGRATION AND BRING

DOWN THE SILOS?

George Bernard Shaw was right ...

DOWN THE SILOS?
