Driving Digital Acceleration: The 2021 State CIO Survey

Abstract

In this survey, 49 state and territory Chief Information Officers (CIOs) were asked about the short- and long-term impact of the pandemic for state CIO organizations. Respondents also provided updates on many of the traditional topics of the survey, including digital transformation, adoption of cloud, emerging technologies and legacy modernization. A major theme this year is whether the accelerated pace of state technology and digital services transformation over the past eighteen months will persist beyond the pandemic.
