Outsourcing at Kansas revenue department imperils dozens of IT jobs

Dozens of information technology employees face layoffs at the Kansas Department of Revenue in conjunction with a $50 million, 10-year contract to outsource development and operation of a new tax management computer system. The technical services deal with CGI, which has not previously been reported, would require a portion of agency employees targeted for layoffs to work side-by-side with CGI consultants prior to dismissal in August.
