SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — States need to focus on using their IT operations budgets to pay for data center maintenance rather than relying on hefty infrastructure upgrade investments, according to a panel of state IT leaders.
At a discussion at the National Association of State Technology Directors’ Eastern Region conference here Wednesday, IT officials from up and down the East Coast stressed that they were increasingly moving away from using capital expenditures to overhaul their data storage facilities in order to keep up with the rapid pace of technological development.
