As identified in Article 13.1 of the Indiana Code, the Office of Technology (IOT) is required to:

• Establish the standards for the technology infrastructure of the state.
• Focus state information technology services to improve service levels to citizens and lower the costs of providing information technology services.
• Bring the best and most appropriate technology solutions to bear on state technology applications.
• Improve and expand government services provided electronically.
• Provide for the technology and procedures for the state to do business with the greatest security possible.

IOT is a trusted enterprise-technology provider that enables partners to securely deliver high-quality services to citizens.

The mission of the Indiana Office of Technology is to provide cost-effective, secure, consistent, reliable enterprise-technology services to our partner agencies so that they can better serve our mutual customer, the Hoosier taxpayer. IOT will also act as the technology and solution enabler for the State, helping its partner agencies achieve business objectives and innovation.

• Aggressively balance costs, while still providing great service.
• Deliver value-add services to customers.
• Meet service levels for each agency we support.
• Operate to assure operational and data integrity.
• Treat our internal customers, our partners, with respect.

IOT was created in 2005 as part of an effort to consolidate IT organizations across Indiana state government. 135 PCN’s were eliminated due to this consolidation.  The state saves $13.9 million annually due to remote service maintenance efficiencies, personnel efficiencies, software licensing consolidation and cost avoidance.

• IOT hosted the WorkSmart365 conference in partnership with Microsoft to drive awareness and promote adoption of Office 365 products for the State of IN.  Now that the majority of on-premise content (Exchange/SharePoint) resides in Office 365 it is critical that IOT take the next step and help ourselves and our customers take advantage of all that comes along with Office 365 and use these tools to modernize our workflows and business practices.  The WorkSmart365 conference gave IOT the platform to provide leadership, guidance and business value to our customers.

• The first workstream for the ADH project has completed which was a huge undertaking which involved multiple teams.  The result from this project will be enhanced and needed security protections which will help strengthen the State of IN security posture.
• The AD team undertook a project which corrected a bad practice of over a decade where SPD users had multiple accounts as they were embedded in various agencies.  This practice resulted in confusion for administrators, bad user experience and an excess of cost due to multiple licenses needing to be applied to these duplicate accounts. Consolidating SPD HRD accounts has saved license costs, time and resources for both our customer and ourselves.
