02:57 PM -- Consideration of IT Systems Interoperability FY 2015-16 IT Budget Request
Ms. Hatch explained that DHS is requesting a combination of state funds and federal funds spending authority for FY 2015-16 to create a new system that will standardize all existing IT systems under an interoperability environment project, while leaving its core systems in place. She said that the project aims to create a platform that will enable departmental systems to talk to each other, which will allow for transparency and improved accountability. Ms. Hatch noted that critical aspects of this project relate to data governance and privacy, security, identity management, identity resolution, and data analysis. The committee discussed the merits of the new system.
