OCIO Champion: 5/18/2018

MIKE MAY, JUSTIN TIANGCO, DEB WINGROVE, TYLER SWEENEY, MINA NASHED, BRANDON BOYD AND MARK NEEMANN

For (his/her) assistance to the Nebraska Department of Transportation with the NDOT Remote App implementation. Due to the security requirements of the Enterprise VPN, external stakeholders found themselves spending an additional 10-15% of increased work time, which could have a monetary impact of $3-$4.65 million per year. The OCIO team architected, built, tested and implemented a RemoteApp service which allows NDOT contractors and consultants to do their assigned work efficiently in a secure environment. Using this service, NDOT will avoid the $3-$4.65 million impact to contracted services.

 

 

TYLER SWEENEY

With the implementation of the NDOT’s RemoteApp, Tyler Sweeney’s customer service has been amazing. He has gone above and beyond the duties of his position to meet the demanding needs of the Department of Transportation. From a customer at NDOT, “It has been very nice working with Tyler who is very responsive and understanding of the issues. I appreciate his efforts.”

 

 

JORDAN NEUJAHR

Jordan recently completed a CONNECT enhancement that required an interface with the DHHS N-FOCUS computer system and the display of a PDF completed by DHHS Division of Children and Family Services personnel. The enhancement was complex and required considerable testing before it went into production. Comment from Julie Richter, DHHS, “Jordan persevered and accomplished the enhancement which will improve the Early Development Network's ability to receive referrals more timely for some of Nebraska's most vulnerable infants and toddlers whose families are engaged with the child protective services system.”
