Enterprise Architecture Overview

 The DTMB Office of Enterprise Architecture provides leadership for the State Of Michigan's information technology programs and works collaboratively with other information technology leaders throughout state government to develop and enhance partnerships with the State's agency and line of business leaders.

• Aggressively pursue new and promising technologies to meet known business requirements
• Facilitate issues between other information technology groups to move difficult issues forward for the good of our clients
• Aspire to be a learning organization.
• Clearly and consistently document solutions, pertinent research, findings, decisions, recommendations, standards, and all other outputs for both immediate and future guidance.
