The document outlines plans by the New York State Senate CIO to increase transparency, participation, and efficiency in state government. Key initiatives included launching an open data and social media-enabled website, implementing a constituent relationship management system, migrating infrastructure to cloud-based hosting, and opening legislative and administrative data to the public. The goals were to model best technology practices for legislatures, cut costs, and engage more New Yorkers in the democratic process.
