Today marks Programmer’s Day, a special date that recognizes those who work in the development and maintenance of technological tools that make life easier for citizens. In the Government of Santa Cruz, the Undersecretary of Information Technology plays a crucial role in the digital transformation of public administration, an effort that allows Santa Cruz residents to access services in a more agile, efficient and accessible way.
September 13, the 256th day of the year, is significant for those who are dedicated to programming, since 256 is the maximum number of values that a byte, a basic unit in computing, can store. In leap years, the celebration is brought forward to September 12, since the 256th day corresponds to that date.
“The professionals of the Undersecretariat of Information Technology are a fundamental branch of our goal of state organization,” said Ariel Pincheira, in charge of the Undersecretariat, who emphasized that the technological solutions implemented by this area are essential for the development of a more modern government that is closer to the people. “Thanks to their work, today Santa Cruz can count on more accessible, efficient and secure public services,” he added.
The Information Technology Undersecretariat is not only responsible for developing and maintaining the technological systems that support government management, but also works on initiatives that promote innovation and modernization of public services, contributing to the province’s progress towards a more interconnected future. In this context, the Government of Santa Cruz reiterates its commitment to continue investing in technology and in the training of its staff to face the challenges of the future, promoting transparent and efficient public management at the service of all Santa Cruz residents.
