Information Technology Advisory Board
Return to Main Contents
Established through KIRC Information Technology Policy 3100, the senior information technology
managers from each of the Council organizations were brought together as the Information Technology
Advisory Board (ITAB). The purpose of the Board is to organize the information technology community
for coordination, consensus, and to obtain the additional resources needed to develop policies, standards,
statewide programs, statewide contracts, and to address other resource management issues. The Board is
chaired by the CIA. This provides linkage between the general management level and the operating
information technology organizations in state government.
To carry out its work the ITAB establishes committees. The ITAB now has committees for enterprise
office automation, telecommunications, disaster planning, local area network asset management, data
administration, the Internet, and other areas. The Board also establishes coordination with other groups
such as the Geographic Information Systems Technical Committee and the State Archivist’s Records
Management Committee.
Summarizing, the Board:
- Serves the KIRC and the CIA
- For development and coordination of information technology policies, standards, and
guidelines
- For technical planning, review and coordination of projects and information technology
resource issues
- To develop specifications and coordinate statewide contracts for common IT requirements
- To provide a forum for shared issues
