SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger Monday announced the establishment of a new state Department of Technology Services. The department will consolidate two state data centers with the Department of General Services' Office of Network Services. Officials expect the new department to improve efficiency and eliminate the duplication of services in the information technology area of state government.
"The creation of the Department of Technology Services is an important step toward bringing California's state government technology structure into the 21st century," Schwarzenegger said. "Californians deserve to have a government that serves them effectively and efficiently and this reorganization is an important part of accomplishing that goal. I look forward to working with the Legislature to improve and modernize state government so that it better serves Californians."The department will have an annual operating budget of approximately $235 million and employ nearly 800 people.
