Agency: Technology Services Function The Department of Technology Services (DTS) manages information technology (IT) programs and resources statewide. It acts as the Executive Branch's lead agency on IT, working with all other state agencies to ensure efficient and effective investment in and operation of IT. It responds first and foremost to the business needs of its customers - other agencies in the state.
Information Technology Governance Amendments (House Bill 109, 2005 General Session) created DTS. The bill immediately moved the Office of the Chief Information Officer and the Automated Geographic Reference Center into DTS as appropriated budget items. Subsequent appropriations acts added Technology Acquisition projects as appropriated items through FY 2009. After FY 2009, the legislature appropriated state funds directly to agencies who then pay DTS dedicated credits (to its internal service fund) to develop or contract projects. H.B. 109 also provided mechanisms through which the governor consolidated the Division of Information Technology Services (ITS) and all agency information technology functions into an internal service fund. DTS reports or interacts with the following entities: - Technology Advisory Board (TAB) UCA 63F-1-202: TAB was created to advise and assist the CIO in working with executive branch agencies toward consensus solutions. The Technology Advisory Board meets at the discretion of the chair and receives information on the operations of the department.
- Public Utilities Technology Interim Committee UCA 63F-1-104 (9) and UCA 63F-1-201: Receives the status of existing information technology projects and the Executive Branch Strategic Plan, as well as the department's annual report, published each November.
- Information Technology Rate Committee UCA 63F-1-301: Receives information about all rates for the next fiscal year, evaluates and recommends them to the Governor's Office of Planning and Budget and the Legislative Fiscal Analyst for review and consideration by the Legislature.
- Governor's Office: Receives the department's annual report, approves the rates, budgets, FTE and capital outlay authorization.
- Infrastructure and General Government Appropriations Subcommittee: Receives department information and approves the rates, budgets, FTE and capital outlay authorization.
Statutory Authority UCA 63F-1-103 creates the Department of Technology Services and UCA 63F-1-104 requires DTS to: - Reengineer the state's IT architecture
- Coordinate central and agency IT to meet the agency's and user's business and service needs
- Develop and implement processes to replicate IT best practices and standards
- Serve as general contractor between the state's IT users and private sector providers
- Assist the Governor's Office of Planning and Budget with the development of IT budgets for agencies

In this effort, the executive director has managed attrition within the department by reducing 172 FTE from FY 2006 through FY 2011 as illustrated in the following chart.
