Texas CIO: How governance rescued data center consolidation

Texas Chief Information Officer Karen Robinson, Deputy Chief Information Officer Todd Kimbriel and Texas Department of Information Resources Deputy Director Sally Ward join StateScoopTV to discuss the state’s award-winning data center consolidation project and how it helped save taxpayer money while improving services.

The National Association of State Chief Information Officers gave Robinson special state CIO recognition last month for her team’s work in developing a statewide data center services governance model that consolidated the IT infrastructure of 29 autonomous agencies.

Robinson announced earlier this month that she intends to step down from her in post at the end of the year.
