Government operations could look a lot different in Michigan by the end of 2018.
The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget’s “stretch goal” is to make 85 percent of the state’s operations cloud-enabled within the next 2 1/2 years, said Jack Harris, the state’s director of enterprise architecture and network strategies.
“There’s a lot of aspects to our cloud strategy, which is what makes it exciting,” Harris told StateScoop at the National Association of State Technology Director’s Conference in Cincinnati in August.
The state retooled its contracting strategy to make room for cloud vendors, and to organize the rest of the state’s agencies around supporting cloud-enabled technology offerings, Harris said.
