Is a task force working on the 21st Century Project or is it just SCO?
The 21st Century Project is a statewide, collaborative effort. While the State Controller’s Office is the executive sponsor for the project, we are working closely with our business partners such as the Department of Personnel Administration, Department of Finance, CalPERS, Judicial Council, California State University, Department of Technology Services, and others, to ensure that the new system meets statewide business needs. (See a list of project stakeholders.) The 21st Century Project includes a large communications effort. SCO worked directly with departments during the Business Case Benefits Study to gather information relevant to department business needs. In late 2006, department representatives participated in workshops to help define and document critical business processes. This documentation will drive system configuration in 2007. As the project progresses, the project team will increase communication and collaboration with departments.
