CDFA IT department honored at “Best of California” awards

CDFA’s Information Technology department received three awards last night at the annual “Best of California” awards at the California Government Innovation Summit in Sacramento. The award series recognizes state and local government as well as educational organizations for innovative technology projects that improve public services and government operations in California.

CDFA’s awards were in the following areas:

Wi-Fi Improvements — The Infrastructure Operations Section of IT worked to improve Wi-fi capabilities at a number of CDFA locations, including Border Inspection Stations in the northern part of the state. As a result, the work of the stations to ensure that certain items entering California comply with laws and regulations occurs more efficiently than ever before, and that benefits the environment and commerce, as well as consumers depending on those items.

CDFA Web Team — IT specialist Jarrett Heather and the Web Team received an Excellence in Customer Experience award for their expertise in creating stunning, accessible websites that meet ADA standards and support agency participation at fairs and trade shows. Jarrett and the Web Team’s in-house design solutions have resulted in visually striking, high-resolution banners that have saved costs and inspired creativity.

Changes to Support a Mobile/Hybrid Workforce — CDFA’s Intune Migration Team placed 1,400 mobile devices and 150 different applications onto a centralized cloud-based platform that has simplified application management while reducing IT workload, improving security, and increasing efficiency for the agency’s mobile/hybrid workforce.

Congratulations to these award recipients, Agency Chief Information Officer Fred Gomez, and the entire IT team at CDFA!
