| Project / Program purpose and objectives |
Augment/supplement the internal IT staff with as-needed data and IT skills. Going into FY 2023, the CSI expects to have a data and technology FTE count of 2 as an appropriate staffing level
for an agency of around 70 total FTE. Two data & technology FTE can adequately support the day-to-day technology needs of the agency and provide strategic leadership and planning of CSI
data and technology efforts. CSI will continue to need specialized data and technology skillsets, such as IT security, programming, and database support for the foreseeable future to support
existing applications and fulfill existing and future State security and auditing requirements. Also, as business and processes automation improvement and artificial intelligence efforts ramp up,
skill sets such as project management/business/system/data analysts will also be needed. CSI will move away from trying to have the all the necessary skills "in-house" as FTE and towards having them only when and where needed. This approach should enable the CSI to avoid the pitfalls and inefficiencies of having these skill sets in house and allow the CSI to obtain "best of breed" from the data and technology service providers. |
