Statewide Internet Portal Authority (SIPA)
agencies anticipate continued growth in these service categories for the current fiscal year
for the following reasons:
New software installations, upgrades, and hardware changes continue to require
more disk space and computer processing resources. Additionally, usage will
continue to grow as a result of systems and applications software testing, retention
of history records, and migration to new systems.
The Colorado population is forecasted to continue to grow in the current fiscal
year and beyond. This growth rate results in a relational growth of our three
largest external customers the Departments of Human Services, Revenue, and
Labor and Employment.
Upgrades and additional software to allow improved web enablement and portal
initiatives will increase TCP/IP and dialup use.
