Executive Order 2004-8

Executive Order 2004-8 (Issued April 30, 2004)

Enterprise Information Technology Governance Board - Preamble WHEREAS,   historically, the Commonwealth's information technology (IT) policy for the governance of IT

initiatives throughout the Enterprise has been largely decentralized; and WHEREAS,   Commonwealth offices under the Governor's jurisdiction invest approximately one billion dollars

annually to create and support IT infrastructure and systems; and WHEREAS,   The Administrative Code of 1929 requires administrative departments and several independent and

departmental administrative boards to coordinate their work and activities with other departments, boards, and commissions; and

 WHEREAS,   IT investments and development efforts should be prioritized across the Commonwealth and

coordinated across agencies to enhance information sharing, standardization, and cost-effectiveness; and WHEREAS,   coordinated technology standardization across Commonwealth agencies will increase the

effectiveness of product development projects, reduce research and development investments, enable volume hardware and software purchases, and enhance system compatibility and data sharing; and

 WHEREAS,   an integrated IT strategy will improve organizational efficiency, streamline data collection and data

sharing, and enhance the security of the Commonwealth IT infrastructure from cyber attacks; and WHEREAS,   no central IT organization currently exists to govern, evaluate, and monitor agency IT

planning, research, project prioritization, investment, and effectiveness. Therefore, it is imperative to establish an Enterprise IT Governance Structure to facilitate a cost-effective, coordinated technology investment strategy that effectively leverages IT resources and data systems across Commonwealth agencies.

IT Executive Order – GT Relevance

4. Responsibilities of the Governor's Office of Administration, Office for Information Technology (OA/OIT).  The OA/OIT will be responsible for:h) Developing and deploying Geographic Information

System (GIS) and Geospatial Technology (GT) investments, including establishing data development priorities, interoperability and architecture standards for data sharing across agencies and with extended enterprise partners.

Executive Order 2004-8

• Effective 4/30/2004, agency procurement process for ANY technology expenditures over $100K changed– All FY 04-05 IT projects over $100K are governed by OIT review– ALL FY 05-06 planned IT expenditures by agencies > $100K must be

part of CoP project plan (July 2004 submittal!)– All IT Procurement Requests > $100K must be reviewed prior to

issuance– Any RFP must have an ITQ waiver– All agency IT procurements > $100K must be approved by agency

and directed to CoP IT point of contact for submittal to OIT– New agency/OIT workflow and OIT review/approval process– Drastically changes agency IT and PROGRAM AREA responsibilities– GIS must align with IT/CoP processes– CoP website – Quick Link off OIT home page

CoP Website

Identification of CoP Projects Agency IT/Program staff work and Agency

Executive/Management develop a prioritized list of IT projects aligned with their 1) respective agency mission/business objectives; and 2) CoP’s 3-year Strategic Plan .

Final approval for the project prioritization should be completed by the Agency IT Manager or the Deputy for Administration.

Projects will be considered by a Community of Practice if they:

Exceed $100,000 in FY 05-06 for new, on-going and enhancement projects (maintenance and routine IT purchases such as PC leases are excluded)

Are proposed within the Cost-To-Carry budget, or as New funding

GT Barriers

• Organizational GT decentralization• Lack of central GT support group• Agency GT education• Lack of executive team champion• Overlap and duplication of efforts• Lack of IT training• Not aligned with IT Strategies• Sustainable Funding• GT Training• Job Classifications/Recruitment• Complement positions• Other … Discussion

GT Funding

• No enterprise knowledge of actual funds spent on GT• Estimates of GIS contracts in state are $10M annually• Programs control most of funding• IT lacked authority to review spending plans prior to

Executive Order 2004-8• Data procurement and maintenance is still #1 cost• Procurements still in agency hands – GIS software,

commercial data. No coordinated spending to save money on procurements

• No funding to create high priority, statewide data layers (DEM)

• Other … Discussion

GT Issues

• What should be in the 2004 GT Strategic Plan?– Agency issues

• Coordination– Monthly meetings– Alignment with GT Strategic Plan– IT Executive Order– Communities of Practice
