BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION TRACK

B1: Business Transformation – Tax Modernization and Select Initiatives
[Government Only]

If there is a silver lining to tough times, it’s that government organizations are driven to dig out and cast aside deep-rooted and outmoded ways of operating. It can be a brutal process but the potential payoff is massive. Not surprisingly, IT is being asked – ordered in many cases – to lead the charge in finding creative ways to increase efficiencies and reduce costs. How can it best be done? What are the expectations? Will investments be made, and if so, to what extent? What happens when the low-hanging fruit is long gone? This session takes a realistic look at challenges, possibilities, priorities and the role of IT in building a bright future for Hawaii.

Facilitator:	Randy Baldemor	Deputy CIO – Business Transformation, State of Hawaii
Panel:	Kimberly Huntzinger	Senior IT Project Manager, State of Hawaii
