NASCIO's Doug Robinson On The State Of State Government
Submitted by Ramin Edmond on
Where do you see the industry going forward in terms of state government?
In terms of state government, I see continuing adoption of cloud, moving more towards public cloud services. The challenge of the next decade for states is going to be dealing with the incredible volume and velocity of data. I think that's going to be one of the real telling issues because states are not as mature in that. Part of it has to do with silos, and data in all these different agencies, but it's not being treated as an enterprise asset. You have to think of data as a strategic asset like anything else. With states it is, and it's not being treated that way. It's difficult to get your arms around the explosion of data these states are going to see.
