The California Technology Agency (CTA) is a state agency that manages information processing for the State of California. This remarkable agency is at the forefront of innovation and it’s accomplishment to save the state $1.5 billion dollars by “greening” its operations were highlighted at the IT Summit. An “ah ha” moment for me was to realize that this agency is a significant employer of IT talent in the state, and should also be viewed as a resource for our schools. The CTA was responsible for promoting the pilot year of the Cyber-security competition last year.
