RD87 - 2012-2014 Commonwealth of Virginia Technology Business Plan


Executive Summary:
The 2010 General Assembly made substantial revisions to the governance of Virginia’s centralized information technology (IT) operations. Among those changes was the creation in the Code of Virginia of the IT Advisory Council (ITAC), which is responsible for advising the Commonwealth’s Chief Information Office (CIO) and the Secretary of Technology on the planning, budgeting, acquiring, using, disposing, managing, and administering of information technology in the Commonwealth. (*1)

The 11th enactment clause of the aforementioned 2010 legislation also tasked ITAC with the development by December 31, 2011 of a Technology Business Plan, in consultation with the Council on Virginia’s Future. This document constitutes that plan for the 2012-2014 biennium.

Briefly stated, the Technology Business Plan is intended to be the link between the Commonwealth’s business priorities and the Statewide Strategic Plan for Information Technology, providing business guidance and direction to executive branch agencies’ collective technology initiatives.
