Former OCIO Director Rob St. John,
“I am confident the OCIO will continue to excel and serve its customers and the state under her watch,” St. John said.
Langen, a 25-year state employee who rose to CIO of the state Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) before joining the OCIO in February 2015 as senior policy and enterprise system advisor, said part of her mission will center on generating financial efficiencies in technology.
“Part of the big task from the state Legislature is around how we spend our money as a state entity and ways that the OCIO ensures that the state is spending with maximum benefit. And so part of what we hope to do in the next year or so is improve the enterprise architecture that we have in the state, that will perhaps give guidance to state agencies,” said Langen.
Her office will also work with the team spearheading implementation of a new Enterprise Resource Planning system statewide; and continue to improve the state’s Technology Business Management system, which scrutinizes the cost of business related to technology.
