Problems of information systems in state governments

Abstract

Like all forms of government organization, the structure of state government organization has evolved over the years, responding to the new demands of the people served. Because the structure has had to adapt to these demands, generally there has been a piecemeal development, and it has been virtually impossible at most times for the structure to evolve according to any long-term plan. Of course, periodically there have been comprehensive investigations into the structure at any given time, but these in general have not resulted in massive reorganizations.
