Nevada’s IT capabilities are six to eight years behind those of other states, its top technology official said in an interview with StateScoop.
Since joining the state government last August, Nevada Chief Information Officer Alan Cunningham told StateScoop said he’s watched an IT environment that was already challenged by a funding structure be further stressed by pandemic-induced budget shortfalls. He also said it suffers from a culture that doesn’t encourage cross-department collaboration, financial waste through redundant technology purchases and a foggy view of its cybersecurity risks.
“We’re at the place where we’re done,” he told StateScoop. “We can’t give you any more with the same. If you give us less, you’re going to get less back. It’s a reality.”
