This will allow for the development of a citywide strategy for technology that can take advantage of economies of scale while, at the same time, providing for unique departmental requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Overcoming the basic problems within citywide technology can only be brought about by the passionate leadership of the Mayor. Only he can bring about the culture shock that is needed to transform City technology to the level he talks about. If he has the will, there\u2019s a way.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to the report, Mayor Ed Lee spokesperson Christine Falvey wrote via email: &#8220;The mayor thanks the Civil Grand Jury for producing their report on the City&#8217;s technology and we will be reviewing their recommendations with an eye toward implementing the best ideas. While we can always improve, there have been significant steps already taken to better organize and streamline technology systems and governance. In the past year, we have lowered IT costs, established a Five-Year Technology Plan and passed legislation to strengthen IT governance for the City.  We look forward to reviewing these recommendations and continuing our discussions with our City departments to keep ensuring that San Francisco is taking the most effective and innovative approaches to serving our residents.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Citing wasteful spending and duplicative efforts, a San Francisco Civil Grand Jury today released a critical report of the City&#8217;s technology infrastructure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3545,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[222,17,1321],"tags":[1718,1110,1263,65],"class_list":["post-4920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-politics","category-technology","tag-civil-grand-jury","tag-ed-lee","tag-information-technology","tag-san-francisco"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Civil Grand Jury: &quot;Culture Shock&quot;
