DA’s IT Director Honored
/San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie M. Dumanis announced today that Ron Moskowitz, Chief Information Officer for the DA’s IT Department, has been chosen as the 2012 Information Technology Executive of the Year by the San Diego Business Journal.
“I am so proud Ron has been recognized for his talent, his professionalism and his hard work,” DA Dumanis said. “He has been innovative in upgrading our technology, putting our office at the forefront of case management in California.”
The San Diego Business Journal honored Moskowitz recently in the Government category in its 5th Annual Information Technology Executive of the Year Awards, which celebrates San Diego’s exceptional information technology leaders. He was selected from a pool of 43 finalists for his progressive upgrades to technology, which has improved public safety services.
In addition to modernizing the DA’s data center and providing the workforce with new technology, Moskowitz was recognized for initiating eDiscovery, which is revolutionizing the way discoverable case information is disseminated to defense attorneys. The long-standing practice of private defense attorneys traveling to the DA’s Office to receive upwards of thousands of paper case documents for a fee is being replaced by a secure website at no cost to the recipient.
In addition, Moskowitz is responsible for directing the Public Defender’s eShare project, a digital bridge that securely connects the two offices to seamlessly transfer eDiscovery information. The project also creates a digital file repository for the Public Defender, thereby eliminating mass amounts of physical paper documents.
Moskowitz, who has been with the DA’s Office for four years, said he is honored to be recognized.
“I am very humbled by this honor and fortunate to work for a DA that is supportive of using current technology to improve efficiency in our office,” Moskowitz said.
