State CIOs Focus on the Fundamentals

New Orleans, LA., Tuesday, October 1, 2024 —The National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) released today The 2024 State CIO Survey: Building Blocks of the Next Generation CIO. The report includes responses from 49 state CIOs on nine topics.

“This year’s survey includes many topics that have been accelerated over the past few years,” said NASCIO Executive Director Doug Robinson. “But it is also clear that state CIOs are working on many bits it takes to secure a strong foundation.”

This year’s survey includes a dive into how states are using generative artificial intelligence, accelerating digital government services and evolving identity and access management. The report also includes information on service delivery and it seems that consolidation and centralization aren’t going anywhere soon with CIOs reporting that they are delivering services to agencies by consolidation of infrastructure, consolidation of services and centralization of information technology project management. Finally, as it seems technology is a part of every state initiative these days, the survey digs into the technology acquisition process and how states define technology procurement.

The complete report is available on NASCIO’s website www.nascio.org/resourcecenter.
