Reimagining IT in the State of Colorado
The role of IT transformation in state government has become a focus of greater attention over the past few decades with ever-changing technological needs, increased cyber threats, and budgetary demands to do more with less. While the State of Colorado's current IT operating model has provided real benefits over the last decade, we must continually reimagine the delivery of IT.
Governor's IT Transformation Vision
When Governor Polis took office, he outlined a vision to build increased agency IT accountability and ownership, collaborative IT governance and oversight, and a more nimble and process-oriented IT organization. This vision drove the Governor’s Office of Information Technology (OIT) to begin reimagining IT in state government and pursue a programmatic investment in change together with our state partners. This program is known as IT Transformation.

IT Transformation aligns and standardizes OIT's service offerings and processes, fosters greater collaboration with customers, and empowers agencies to drive their strategies through high-impact technology. The result: together, we transform IT operations.
Reimagining IT in Colorado yields numerous benefits for agencies and Coloradans, and results in three distinct outcomes for state IT operations and service delivery: increased efficiency, transparency, and customer satisfaction.
