The Department of Information Technology (DoIT) was established with the passage of HB 362 and Senate Bill 212 and approved by Governor Martin O'Malley on April 8, 2008. The former Office of Information Technology within the Department of Budget and Management joined the Major Information Technology Development Fund to form State agency F50 as a principal unit of the Executive Branch effective July 1, 2008. Secretary Elliot Schlanger oversees a Cabinet-level department committed to the following principles:
- DoIT will aspire to a position of enterprise leadership by assisting agencies through a process of business transformation.
- DoIT will provide operational agility by serving a mission critical function rather than a support function.
- DoIT will derive cost savings from economies of scale.
- DoIT will facilitate a proactive service.
Within the pages of this web site, DoIT will strive to provide current information, support and guidance to facilitate IT contracts, IT procurements, IT development projects, IT questions and IT News. We invite IT colleagues, state employees, business partners, and citizens, to share the vision and joint effort it will take to improve Maryland State Government through information technology initiatives -- together, we can DoIT.
