Technology Modernization Fund

Technology Modernization Fund (TMF) investments yield quick and meaningful results for the people of California. Through the TMF, California supports departments to:

Implement high-value proofs of concept

“The funding and resources provided through TMF have enabled us to upgrade critical systems, ensuring that vital services reach our communities faster and more effectively than ever before”.

Michael Crews, California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, CIO

“The California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) Automation Project began the development of a single-system to automate and integrate business processes. The system maintains a wide range of documents and materials relating to historical resources (e.g., buildings, structures, objects, historic and archaeological sites, landscapes, districts) and provides cultural resources information to local governments, state and federal agencies, Native American tribes, and individuals, critical for planned statewide projects. With this first phase, access by the OHP and the eight ICs to the statutorily defined inventory for historic properties and resources, a subset of the overall database, as well as to federally mandated reporting data is a critical achievement”.

Jody L. Brown, California Office of Historic Preservation, Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer/Tribal Liaison

Optimize services for digital government

“Implementing SuccessFactors has transformed how we manage our HR processes. By centralizing our data, we now have improved data integrity and accessibility, which allows for more efficient reporting and data-driven decision-making. Additionally, SuccessFactors’ cloud-based architecture has provided us with enhanced security and data backup solutions, enabling us to comply more effectively with regulatory requirements while safeguarding sensitive employee information. The user-friendly interface and automated workflows have also empowered our employees to self-manage many of their HR tasks, reducing administrative bottlenecks and increasing overall productivity. The scalability of SuccessFactors allows us to adapt as our organization grows, ensuring that our technology remains aligned with our evolving needs, which is at the heart of our organization’s strategic technology goal”.

Edmond Blagdon, California Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation, Director

“The Technology Modernization Fund (TMF) enabled the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to automate the inland angler paper survey, thus enhancing the customer experience, increasing efficiency and transparency, and reducing the likelihood of errors”.

Vicky Lawson, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Branch Chief

Achieve timely business modernization successes

“In an innovative step forward for California emergency management, Cal OES is proud to introduce the roll-out of “CalWatch,” a cutting-edge system designed to streamline operations of the California State Warning Center (CSWC). CalWatch will empower local governments, state agencies, and key stakeholders across California to coordinate and collaborate in real time during emergencies. This comprehensive platform integrates data from multiple sources, supports secure communication, and provides a powerful common operational picture during crises. This system marks a transformative step in California’s emergency response framework, aligning with Cal OES’s mission to create a fully integrated, state-of-the-art approach to managing crises and enhancing public safety”.
