TRENTON – A bill sponsored by Senator Bob Gordon which would direct the State to conduct a study of the current use of High-Volume Basic Computing (HVBC) systems in government agencies, and examine whether or not viable, cost-effective alternatives exist was signed into law yesterday by the Governor.
“With the current rate of advancement in information technology, the computer systems which were cutting edge yesterday are obsolete by tomorrow,” said Senator Gordon, D-Bergen. “It’s important that we continue to study these advances, and whenever possible, adopt cost-effective solutions which continue to meet the needs of New Jersey’s residents at a fraction of the cost. This law will make sure that policymakers have the information they need to transition New Jersey’s information infrastructure to the latest, most cost-effective platform as possible.”
