It\u2019s basically a portable cart, providing two-way, interactive video conferencing that enables CDFA employees to communicate with peers\u00a0over the Internet. It\u00a0facilitates communications between\u00a0urban and remote rural offices. The\u00a0project demonstrates that government truly can do more with less.<\/p>\n<p>Another CDFA IT initiative, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nascio.org\/awards\/nominations2012\/2012\/2012CA2-CA_Data_Informtion_and_Knowledge_Mgmt__ET_Submission.pdf\">The Emerging Threats Project,<\/a> was honored as a finalist\u00a0in the same awards program.\u00a0The project\u00a0facilitates\u00a0the monitoring of\u00a0animal disease and dairy food safety\u00a0for threats that can cause disease in humans, the death of millions of\u00a0 animals, and huge economic losses. Its web-based, GIS-enabled features provide CDFA and its partners with accurate animal population information and milk safety surveillance information at all times. Significantly, this system will not only be useful under emergency conditions, but it will also support day to day business operations related to food safety inspections and livestock and poultry disease testing. This daily use will ensure that the information remains current, and will also avoid duplication of effort and improve data integrity.<\/p>\n<p>It\u00a0is rewarding to work alongside our business partners during these projects.\u00a0 We are honored to receive this award for our outstanding information technology achievements in the public sector. The IT projects were recognized as they exemplify best practices, support the public policy goals of state leaders, assist government in innovatively executing our mission, and provide cost-effective service to citizens.<\/p>\n<p><em>About the NASCIO Award:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>NASCIO annually honors information technology initiatives that make exceptional contributions to state government operations. An organization of state Chief Information Officers and information technology executives from the states, territories, and the District of Columbia, NASCIO is in its 24th year of recognizing
