Program: Information Technology

Function

GOPB uses the IT program to account for information technology costs. The program, now operated under contract with the Department of Technology Services (DTS), provides Local Area Network (LAN) and computer desktop support for the Governor's Office and GOPB. The duties of this section revolve around all aspects of computer use and related communications technologies. Prior to the creation of DTS, this program also housed the state's Chief Information Officer.

Funding Detail

The Governor's Office of Planning and Budget has chosen to reduce the General Funds of its IT program in response to budget cuts over the last five years, these reductions amount to 75 percent.

The current balance in General Funds is used on IT type projects. Due to the uncertainty of future revenue estimates, FY 2011 expenditures were kept to a minimum, explaining the large decrease of spending from that of FY 2010.
