PLANNING (Agency IT Plans)
Information Technology has become increasingly important to the efficient and effective operation of state government. As technology choices become more and more complex, it is ever more important that we develop a strategy around our lines of business to strengthen our technology base and offer more services to government, citizens, and business.
