Tarek Tomes, the chief information officer of Minnesota, and Katie Savage, Maryland’s CIO, may be separated by 1,000 miles, but they have at least one thing in common when it comes to their work: They both have directives from their governors to support child and family services. Gov. Tim Walz has said he wants to make Minnesota the best state in the nation to raise a family. And Gov. Wes Moore has named eliminating child poverty as one of his top priorities in Maryland. Both CIOs tell StateScoop’s Priorities Podcast that they are working with agencies across the state to ensure they have the IT support they need to meet their goals. “I think approaching technology through the lens of empathy — really understanding that when people are knocking on these doors, you know, they’re knocking on these doors with a lot of other things going on in their lives,” Tomes says.

This week’s top stories:

New York State has named a new deputy chief information officer. Jenson Jacob, a longtime state government employee, was named to the role recently after serving in roles as lead enterprise architect, chief digital transformation officer and deputy chief technology officer.

Texas’ secretary of state has announced it has data-sharing agreements with nine other states. The agreements are designed to allow Texas to reduce voter fraud and identify inconsistencies like duplicate registrations. Some of the details of the data-sharing arrangements are unclear, however, because the state has not published the agreements.

A federal judge has issued an injunction blocking the Department of Agriculture from collecting the personal data of individuals applying for SNAP benefits in 21 states and Washington, D.C. The ruling arrived after privacy advocates raised concerns that such data sharing could expose applicants’ sensitive information.

Welcome to a special launch series of the Pure Report podcast! Join us as we take a deep dive into Pure Storage's Intelligent Control Plane (ICP), a set of groundbreaking innovations redefining IT operations and enabling users to realize the Enterprise Data Cloud. We're thrilled to host Chadd Kenney, VP of Product Management, who helps us unpack how the ICP tackles data silos, operational complexity, and productivity bottlenecks, transforming hundreds of systems into what feels like one virtual cloud of data with Pure Fusion. Discover how Fusion Presets streamline policy-driven deployments, how intelligence extends to modern apps with Portworx native integration, and the exciting possibilities of AI-Copilot and Data Intelligence.

In this episode, Chadd will share insights on how these innovations continue Pure Storage's core hallmark of simplicity in operations, delivering Evergreen architecture at a fleet-wide level. We'll explore how the ICP empowers operators with real-time awareness and workflow orchestration, as demonstrated at Accelerate in Las Vegas and New York, enabling full-stack, application-level outcomes. Plus, Chadd offers his "hot takes" on industry trends, common misconceptions about infrastructure automation, and the evolving role of the IT operator in the next five years.

Our Google searches, generative AI prompts and the various social media and entertainment streams we consume daily, all require energy. In fact, some current projections state that the energy needed for AI alone could equal that of what is annually needed by a nation like Sweden or Argentina! Add to that billions of searches, nonstop AI training runs and endless streaming options, and you start to get a glimpse of the hidden engine room behind our digital lives – we’re talking about data centers. So the big question now is, can data centers be more sustainable?

“We sell peace of mind. So how do we make the journey clearer and less complex for customers ?” 

🇬🇧 : In this episode, William Rose, Chief Risk Officer at Hiscox, looks back on more than 16 years in the sector, from underwriting in London and Manchester to steering Brexit work. He explains how the risk function connects governance, regulation, and day to day decisions to serve policyholders. 
We discuss data and AI with a balanced view. Technology introduces new exposures, for example around fraud, yet it also becomes a real lever for efficiency and for making roles more rewarding by automating repetitive tasks. The end goal is simple: make a complex offer easier to understand, and deliver what insurance promises first and foremost, peace of mind.

🇫🇷 : Dans cet épisode, William Rose, Chief Risk Officer chez Hiscox, revient sur plus de 16 ans de parcours: de la souscription à Londres puis Manchester, jusqu’à la gestion du Brexit et de ses impacts. Il explique comment la fonction risque relie gouvernance, réglementation et décisions opérationnelles au service de l’assuré. 
Nous parlons données et IA avec une vision équilibrée. La technologie apporte de nouveaux risques, par exemple en matière de fraude, mais elle devient aussi un véritable levier pour améliorer l’efficacité et rendre les métiers plus enrichissants en automatisant les tâches répétitives. 
Objectif final: simplifier une offre parfois complexe pour mieux délivrer ce que l’assurance promet avant tout, la tranquillité d’esprit.

Listen to in-depth conversations with government and industry’s top executives, and learn about trending stories affecting state and local IT leaders ranging from modernization and digital accessibility to the latest advances in generative artificial intelligence.

A brief insight: Vinyl DJ and resident for Timewarp in Bournemouth. My story is as follows:

Having been exposed to electronic music from the age I had ears, I suppose it was inevitable that I've taken the musical path that I have. Growing up listening to artists such as Human League, Visage, Duran Duran, OMD, Jean Michel Jarre, Mike Oldfield, Vangelis etc when the Trance boom came around in the 1990s I was sold. Whilst my school friends listened to Brit Pop. Indie or Hip Hop, I immersed myself in hundreds of dance compilations from the likes of Ministry of Sound & Nukleuz. Still far to young to venture out clubbing I played every compilation to death.

Once I'd turned 18 I found myself at The Opera House in Bournemouth every Friday for Slinky. The music policy was pretty simple but very spectacular: THE finest Trance and Hard House DJs on the planet! Every DJ you'd ever care to mention that was making a noise within those genres during the early noughties played at Slinky. It was Mauro Picotto though who caught my attention the most. Famed perhaps for his Trance anthems such as Lizard, Iguana & Pulsar, it was his ability to crossover into the Techno field that interested me. His Nukleuz compilation "The Lizard Man" is a prime example of this and that led me to his compilation released a year later titled Metamorphose.

Fast forward 5 years and 2 trips to Ibiza in the summer of 2007 convinced me that the Trance scene had gone stale and it was time to focus on the other constant in my musical life: Techno. Picotto's Metamorphose compilation was littered with tracks linked to Picotto (productions, remixes or signed to the BXR imprint) but the standout tracks were Electric Deluxe - Electric Deluxe, Devilfish - Manalive & Chris Liebing - CLR 07.

After 10+ years dabbling with Techno, I found myself back at the beginning. In April 2019 and before everybody started digging their 1210s out the loft during COVID, I decided to go back to basis and re-ignite my love for all things Trance and vinyl and launch a mix project titled Vinyl Destination. I've been doing that for 5 years and now decided to bring all those mixes into one place here on Soundcloud.

Most recently I’ve become a resident for the rapidly growing vinyl only night Timewarp based in Bournemouth. Prior to that I played at a few local nights here and there and held a residency for 2 years on an online Trance radio station called Trancemixers that then morphed into a website called Electronic Mixes. By all means I'd love to play out at a variety of parties so if upon listening to anything I post you think I can provide a soundtrack to a party then please get in touch :-) I'll just need a set of 1210s to play on!
