"We've also leveraged technology to make state services
less costly and easier for people to access. We have created a 24-7
government, continually streamlining business processes and cutting
regulations and redundancies, making it easier for everyday citizens to
find help."
Governor Jennifer Granholm
- 2010 Budget Address

Building on a Strong Foundation
Michigan's ICT strategic plan is
sponsored and governed by the state's Department of Technology, Management
& Budget. Executive Order 2009-55 consolidated the Departments of
Management and Budget (DMB) and Information Technology (MDIT) into one
agency. Business and citizen services, include:
- the State's complete contract
portfolio;
- ICT services that include: assisting
citizens when they file income tax returns, pay or receive child
support, compare school districts, start a business, vote or seek help
in many other areas.
Services to state agencies and
employees include:
- procurement, printing, mailing, fleet management and delivery
services;
- oversight of four retirement plans that serve one in 18 Michigan
citizens;
- management of technology systems with more than 800 critical
business applications and 56,000 desktop computers;
- management of state facilities, leases, construction services and
warehousing.
With a cabinet-level chief information officer (CIO) who also serves as
the department director, DTMB plays a key role in executive-level
planning. The department leads the alignment of ICT strategy and action
with the businesses needs of agencies and the citizens and businesses
served. Building on eight years of IT/ICT consolidation and three
statewide strategic plans, Michigan has navigated from an agency-specific,
organization with a narrow focus to a silo-busting enterprise-minded
agency. Looking ahead, DTMB is aligned for cross-boundary and shared
services, addressing Michigan's most pressing problems and
opportunities.
