Strategic Plan
An innovative and reliable strategic partner for state agencies
The plan provides strategic goals about how DTS will continue to be a valuable, secure, responsive, and innovative IT partner with state agencies. It also provides guidance to the state’s technology community regarding where DTS will focus its efforts in the upcoming years. The plan presents technology trends that DTS leaders have identified as relevant and describes how these trends will affect the direction for IT management throughout the state. In addition, the strategic plan will help government leaders evaluate and prioritize the technology innovations that could enable them to achieve their business and service delivery objectives.

We will protect sensitive data through robust security and privacy programs.

We will promote a culture and technologies that instill trust and support regulatory compliance.
Foster a Culture of Planning
We will continue to foster strategic partnerships with agencies to provide value and technology solutions that meet each agency’s unique needs.
