Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire Wants to Create New IT Agency

Washington state Gov. Chris Gregoire hopes to create another technology agency to add to the state’s IT system as part of her overall plan to save the state $32 million over the next four years.

The Consolidated Technology Services Agency, if created, is estimated by the executive branch to save $10 million a year. The new agency would privatize and consolidate some of the state’s basic IT operations, such as help-desk support and data center operations.
