Senator Brock urges JITOC leaders to fix long-standing communication gaps
Summary
Senator Brock reminded members that JITOC was formed in 1996 because branch IT groups had not coordinated, described ongoing dysfunction and urged branch IT leaders to take responsibility for fixing recurring problems rather than placing the burden on legislators.
Senator Brock told the committee that JITOC was created in 1996 because IT groups across the three branches had not historically met, and he said he still sees problems in coordination. He urged branch IT leaders to take responsibility: "The left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing," he said, describing past counterproductive outcomes.
Brock asked who would be responsible for producing an MOU and when it would be done; leaders responded that offices meet regularly and that an executive-branch leader would take the lead on drafting a template to be circulated to Marsha and Kevin Moore. The senator said the committee looks to the IT leadership to fix the problem rather than asking the committee to do so.
