STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1612

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE:    GOV. MSG. NO. 845

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Eighth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2015

State of Hawaii

Madam:

     Your Committee on Economic Development and Technology, to which was referred Governor's Message No. 845, submitting for study and consideration the nomination of: 

Chief Information Officer of the Department of Accounting and General Services

G.M. No. 845

TODD NACAPUY, for a term to expire 12-3-2018,

begs leave to report as follows:

     Your Committee has reviewed the personal history, resume, and statement submitted by the nominee and finds Todd Nacapuy to possess the requisite qualifications to be nominated as the Chief Information Officer.

     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination of Todd Nacapuy from Governor Ige, Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, Department of Transportation, Department of Human Services, Department of Accounting and General Services, and eighteen individuals.

     Your Committee notes that Mr. Nacapuy is currently the Senior Technical Account Manager with Microsoft and has served with this organization for the past decade.  He has previously served as the Senior Infrastructure Specialist with EDS.  Mr. Nacapuy has extensive experience with application development, integration, deployment, and support.  He is also knowledgeable in the fields of information technology strategy and business systems planning.  These useful experiences will enhance the effectiveness of the State's information technology system.  Your Committee further notes that Mr. Nacapuy's testimony has effectively illustrated the changes he would bring to the state information technology system in his capacity as Chief Information Officer, specifically the advantages of the State employing an individual with enterprise class software skills, rather than continuing the existing state practice of hiring consultants for sophisticated software-related tasks.

     Your Committee finds that Mr. Nacapuy's wide range of professional and academic experiences, as well as his extensive technical background, will serve him well as the Chief Information Officer.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Development and Technology that is attached to this report, your Committee, after full consideration of the background, experience, and qualifications of the nominee, has found the nominee to be qualified for the position to which nominated and recommends that the Senate advise and consent to the nomination.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Development and Technology,
