Many IT employees in Minnesota have been on leave due to a state government shutdown was caused by a budget impasse.
The State Agency of Enterprise Technology (OET) has furloughed about 75% of its 338 workers following the closure Cathy de Moll, Director of Planning, Communications and marketing technology in the office.
The state government has 1,800 IT employees in the executive branch, including staff OET, but it is uncertain how much higher is capable of layoff.
"I believe that most of the staff of national agencies is limited, with the exception of some important applications, such as unemployment insurance and the new ERP system, which went live on closing day one," said de Moll .
Shutdown started on 1 July.
According to the rules imposed during a stop, government agencies are allowed to continue to "critical" services, which for her has been defined as the safety nets they provide, hosting and communications services.
There will be no "break / fix" work, updates or corrections for non-critical applications and services, officials said in a note.
If the struggle is prolonged, it could be a loss of some non-critical services, as well as response times longer than usual to support issues.
The federal government has issued similar warnings in April, before the possible closure, which has been avoided.
OET is responsible for applications, communications, data centers, desktops, network, security and web, and delivery of services.
"OET makes emergency patching of only those services that are considered important, as well as some of the security patches for large state systems and networks," said de Moll. "We can not predict the impact of prolonged closure of non-critical, but expect that, without the usual maintenance and updates, you may experience difficulty over time."
National governments, on the whole, was injured by falling tax revenues.
Computer Economics, in its annual IT spending and the study of personal reference, said he expects public sector spending on IT operations, which excludes capital expenditures will decrease by 3% this year.
