Statewide PSP Program Presentation PDF Version - Acrobat reader is needed to view

Vision

Simply, Better Government through the development of statewide information technology standards. Standards facilitate commonality and interoperability promoting the migration from incompatible, component-based architecture and independent infrastructures to an integrated system of networked infrastructure and shared computing resources.

Mission

Establish information technology standards that serve as a roadmap for state agencies to partner with each other to efficiently add value and improve services to the people of Arizona while also providing efficient access to information for employees of the state.

Principles

The standards development task groups embrace the following core principles:

  • GITA acts as the facilitator for creation of necessary documents.

  • Success is achieved through the shared commitment of the subject matter expert(s), task team members, and GITA staff.

  • Conflict resolution will be achieved through a process that includes documentation of the points of conflict and thoughtful analysis by GITA/CIOC.

  • In the event task group members fail to reach a consensus, GITA/CIOC will function as the final arbiter.

  • Time is of the essence in the establishment of statewide information technology standards inasmuch as Arizona citizens deserve Simply, Better Government.

Goals

In light of the Vision, Mission and Principles driving the standards development process, three goals have been identified.

  1. Ensure each new document aligns with the relevant domain architecture(s).

  2. Incorporate the experience and best practices of other states and private industry.

  3. Strive for progress rather than perfection, inasmuch as technology is an ever-evolving industry and even the best standards will always be temporary. Ensure approved PSPs are reviewed periodically.
