MONTPELIER — More than two weeks after a state assessment of government information technology was scheduled for completion, none of the 75-plus deliverables are available. Vermonters interested in the results of the $499,000 report from TPI, a Stamford, Conn.-based corporation, will have to wait. David Tucker, the commissioner of the Department of Information and Innovation, would not specify when the report will be made available.
“It is not unusual for there to be minor date changes, and it is acceptable project management practice to allow for those, provided the overall final project due date doesn’t slip. We have no reason to think that it might,” Tucker said in November. More than two-thirds of the deliverables due by then were late at the time.
In an e-mail yesterday (Jan. 5) Tucker reports “a member of the steering committee asked a question yesterday about the way certain data is presented in the report. As soon as we either resolve it as a non-issue or make a modification, I’ll send you a copy.”
When the report becomes available, Vtdigger.org will post it.
