In 2016, the National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) launched an information technology (IT) procurement reform campaign because of the consistent negative outlooks on the current process from state and private sector members. Since then NASCIO has worked with the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) on several projects, most recently in September 2017 when NASCIO and NASPO released a joint roadmap for state information technology procurement reform and process transformation (www.nascio.org/itprocurement). The report, State IT Procurement Negotiations: Working Together to Reform and Transform is a product of the NASPO-NASCIO Task Force on IT Procurement Negotiations, and includes 18 joint recommendations for IT procurement improvement in relationship building, procurement processes, centralization and legislation and policy.#2018#NASCIO#Procurement#InformationTechnology#WhitePaper#NASPO#NASCA
