Title of bill
An act to amend the state technology law, in relation to the creation of a state information technology innovation center
Purpose
The purpose of this legislation is to allow for the development of a state information technology innovation center to facilitate the examination and analyses of technology that could potentially benefit New York State and its residents.
Summary of provisions
This bill amends the state technology law by adding a new section 103-a.
Justification
This legislation would permit the state director of the office of information technology services to operate a state information technology innovation center. Currently, New York's leaders in information technology face challenges in non-interoperable technologies, and investments in technologies that may not have functioned as anticipated. The state information technology innovation center would facilitate a site to examine and gauge technologies across agencies prior to acquisition to authenticate functionality, guarantee interoperability, and comprehend the effects that may influence organizational output.
The center would assess developing technologies in cloud computing, security, and other operations, and would ideally substantiate technology that has not been utilized or measured across the state enterprise, but is considered to be strategically important by agency Chief Information Officers. Agencies would have the capability to work with private sector associates to understand best practices, in addition to observing and working with pioneering technology to see if the state government can implement features.
All technology at the innovation center would be solely used for analysis and assessment purposes only. Participation by vendors shall not be interpreted to create any type of preference status, and would not abrogate the requirement that the state director of the office of information technology services ensure that agency and statewide requirements for information technology support are awarded based on a competitive process that follows technology procurement guidelines.
