User Experience Task Force
Section 2.0 – Reducing number of websites and Section 3.0 - Linking financial and
operational data
Directive
The User Experience Task Force (UETF) Work Plan includes the directive to provide a recommendation of opportunities
to reduce the number of websites found to be in-scope and to provide a recommendation of opportunities and
determination of relevancy of providing links to existing data found in other in-scope websites in order to accomplish
the objectives of the task force.
Approach
Step 1 - In order to provide a recommendation for site consolidation the UETF had to first look at the information
available on each site to identify any potential duplication of information. A detailed inventory of the information
available is provided in Exhibit A (page 4). From the detailed site inventory the UETF made a determination of primary
and secondary sites from which budget information can be found. The primary sites contain the bulk of basic budget
information. The secondary sites provide more specialized information such as contract and salary data. The list of
primary and secondary sites is provided in Exhibit B (page 18). Using the information provided in the detailed site
inventory the UETF then made a recommendation to consolidate the multiple sites into one portal that allows easier
access to all budget information. See Exhibit C (page 19).
Step 2 - In order to procure the most information available for the in-scope websites, the UETF sent a list of questions to
the subject matter expert (SME) and technical manager for each in-scope website and invited them to present the
response at a meeting of the UETF. On December 6, 2013, the UETF heard these presentations and also reviewed the
responses from the SMEs who were not in attendance. All of the responses are included in Appendix A. The UETF
reviewed the inventory of 11 in-scope websites for duplication of expenditure, invoice and contract data. They also
evaluated the usability of each website by evaluating the websites against the criteria listed on the spreadsheet
Appendix B.
Step 3 - The UETF reviewed the State Constitution and Florida Statutes for designated responsibilities. The following is a
synopsis of this review:
1. Both Article IV, Section 4, of the State Constitution and Chapter 17, F.S. states that the chief financial officer shall
serve as the chief fiscal officer of the state, and shall settle and approve accounts against the state, and shall keep all
state funds and securities. In addition, Section 216.0111 states that the Department of Financial Services is the
repository of all state agency contract information.

User Experience Task Force
Therefore, all expenditure data as managed in the state accounting system and all contract data can be summarized as
“financial matters” are managed by the the Chief Financial Officer and the Department of Financial Services. .
2. Article III, Section 17 of the State Constitution places the development of the annual budget within the responsibility
of the Legislature. Chapter 216, F.S. outlines the planning and budgeting responsibilities, and again places the
responsibility in the Legislature, and to some extent, the Executive Office of the Governor (EOG).
Therefore, state “budget and planning” information is managed by the Legislative Appropriations System/Planning and
Budgeting Subsystem (LAS/PBS), a system that includes members of both the EOG and the Legislature.
3. Chapter 110, F.S. states that authority to establish rules over Public Officers, Employees, and Records is the
responsibility of the Department of Management Services. These records include salary information for individual state
employees.
Therefore, “personnel data” is managed by the Department of Management Services, under the direction of the EOG.
4. Finally, the Office of the Auditor General, a legislative office established in Ch. 11, F.S., has the authority and
responsibility to audit any agency’s fiscal and operational information. The audit findings are posted on the Auditor
General’s office website. These findings contain information related to State of Florida fiscal and operational data, but
not the data itself.
Therefore, “Auditor General Data” is managed by the Auditor General’s Office.
Analysis
In analyzing the 11 websites identified by the task force as “in scope,” the need for a centralized portal is clear. Keeping
information accurate and in as much detail as possible is a concern when considering consolidating any websites. The
intended audience should also be considered. Two of them can be considered core websites, with somewhat
duplicative budget information presented for two different audiences. For example, the CFO’s website showcases
information from an “accountant” angle, while the Governor’s website presents in term of “budget”. For those
unfamiliar with the complex budget process in Florida, this distinction could become quite confusing. A way to use the
same information for both audiences is needed. The remaining nine are more specialized. The UETF considered
whether a federated or single source style is more beneficial, but questioned whether single source is an option, given
time and budget constraints.
Recommendation
Considering the division of management responsibilities described above, the varying information on each site, as well
as the different audiences intended, the UETF recommends that all websites be linked to a central portal where all
budget information can be accessed at once.
User Experience Task Force

User Experience Task Force
This would include the creation of one navigation portal with information leading to websites focusing on the 4
identified budget divisions: revenue estimate, budget, spend, and audit. The purpose of the portal is to provide a
jumping off point that guides and educates users to the information they seek. The page should point the users where
they need to go to find the data. The page should also educate the users about transparency using consistent
information such as a glossary of terms and disclaimers, and should provide contact information.
Since the UETF does not recommend consolidating any actual websites, the current state agency managers of each site
should remain the same.
In addition to state managed websites providing information on financial matters, budget and planning, and personnel
data, there may be state operational and fiscal information available on existing state and non state managed websites
that may, at the discretion of the task force, be relevant to the mission of the task force but does not necessarily fall
within the four major categories of responsibility (i.e. University-managed websites). The Task Force recommends
providing links to these websites on each relevant page.
