“I am pleased to launch this updated portal, designed to make it easier for visitors to navigate through all of the valuable resources and learn more about our great state,” Ms. Takai said in a statement released yesterday.
The website’s social media and real-time features are leading the already award-winning portal through its renovation. A featured section of the website called “Connect With Us” allows users to follow California government tweets, Facebook pages, YouTube and MySpace updates. Meanwhile the “Subscribe CA” section allows interested parties to follow California media releases and official alerts via RSS, podcasts and widgets that can be integrated into personal homepages, like iGoogle.
According to the CIO’s office, the portal provides access to more than 4 million pages of information, services, and online-transactions from 155 state agency Websites.

Lastly, the site integrates with Recovery.ca.gov and further promotes Governor Schwarzenegger commitment to publishing information on the Internet to improve transparency and accountability.

Wendy Takai is doing a heroic job! The California CIO is moving past budget issues, political bottleneck, legacy systems, labor issues, and a dysfunctional departmental government system that has destroyed all confidence in integrated government solutions via the portal and cloud. Wendy is establishing standards, governance, and this alone will serve the great state of California very well for many years to come. For all of us who have the CIO government tattoo know that she has written her name in the CIO government “CIO HALL OF FAME.”
California’s budget issues will disappear quickly if they implement the California IT Strategy plan and continue to consolidate government services and re-engineer services delivery.
Go Wendy!
