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 GOMB. 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.
During the 2015 General Session, the Legislature appropriated for Fiscal Year 2016, $0 from all sources for Information Technology. This is a 0 percent change from Fiscal Year 2015 revised estimated amounts from all sources.
The Information Technology program has been rolled into a new organization and is no longer listed separately in the GOMB budget.
The current balance in General Funds is used on IT projects. Due to the uncertainty of future revenue estimates, FY 2011 expenditures were kept to a minimum, explaining the large decrease of spending from FY 2010.
COBI contains unaudited data as presented to the Legislature by state agencies at the time of publication. For audited financial data see the State of Utah's Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports.
