Technology scanning is a continuous process of gathering information about how technology is helping Georgia state agencies meet their objectives. It identifies what is relevant for state agencies and shares appropriate findings through periodic reports and presentations. When targeted to business needs, this information helps agencies make more effective use of proven technology. Effective new uses of technology are incorporated into the annual update of the Georgia Enterprise IT Strategic Plan.

GTA relies on numerous sources for information about new business uses of technology, including Gartner, the National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO), and the Center for Digital Government.

In addition, we monitor a broad range of publications and participate in professional organizations and in national summits, conferences, and symposia targeting effective application of technology to business problems.
