IT in Missouri government

Every day we learn more about how dependent our leading enterprises/economy are on Information Technology. But few of us are aware that Missouri state government is one of only five states that received an "A" in the use and deployment of information technology.
The ranking was performed by the PEW Center "Government Performance Project" This projects ranks all states in four performance ares and five categories within each performance area. Missouri ranked in each of the IT categories as "strength". In addition it is significant that we improved from an "A-"ranking in 2005 by the same evaluation method (In 2005 no state received an "A") I hope that as we become more and more aware that our prosperity depends heavily on the use of technology that we translate the awareness into actions that will assure us that we have the talent, the investment priorities and public policy to enhance our competitive advantage in the global market place
