The Policy and Regulation program provides staff support to the
Information Services Board (ISB) in oversight, planning, and policy
development for information resources in Washington State government.
The activities performed for the Information Services Board have
been subdivided into two distinct areas: the activities which
provide oversight and regulation on information technology projects
and procurements, now known as the Office of Information Technology
Oversight (OITO); and those activities that are associated with
information technology policy and planning, now part of a larger
area known as Strategic Computing and Planning.
OITO provides oversight and monitoring of major information technology
projects and develops policy, procedures, and guidelines relative
to the oversight function. OITO provides the ISB with regular
reports on project status and progress and periodically makes
recommendations on continued project funding. OITO interacts with
agencies throughout the life cycle of an information technology
project, working in partnership to ensure successful project implementation.
Further agency support is provided through review of agency tactical
information technology plans, including comparison to agency and
state strategic information technology objectives.
The objective of OITO is to enhance information technology implementation
processes and increase the success rate of information technology
projects in Washington State.
Policy staff within the Strategic Computing and Planning group
support the ISB in providing information technology leadership
for the state. These staff develop policies for the ISB governing
state agencies' use of technology goods and services. Major policy
initiatives are the Governor's Telecommunications Task Force,
the K-20 Educational Telecommunications Network, the Washington
Information Network, and other legislative and executive branch
initiatives. The program also provides information technology
direction to individual public agencies in the development of
information technology plans, performance reports, and disaster
recovery and security plans.
Objectives are to: implement state level strategies for information technology as approved by the ISB; promote efficiency in agencies' use and sharing of information processing, development, and telecommunications resources; and create information technology policies and standards for statewide applications.

This program provides the technical and operational infrastructure
that supplies a wide range of telecommunication services to state
and local government organizations. Many private sector companies
are engaged in supplying the service elements that are acquired,
integrated, and managed by this program. The private sector provides
88 percent (by dollar volume) of the total package of services.
Services are provided statewide and include local and long distance
telephone services, data network services, and master contracts
and technology brokering services that address a wide range of
telecommunication products and services.
Objectives are to assist agencies in fulfilling their missions
and meeting their business requirements through the application
of cost-effective telecommunication technology and services.
An additional telecommunications function of DIS is Washington
Interactive Television (WIT), the statewide video telecommunication
system creating powerful, visual communications for government
and education. WIT is a cost-recoverable service offered by DIS
in partnership with the Office of the Superintendent of Public
Instruction and the Educational Service Districts. Service offerings
include global videoconferencing, interactive broadcasting, video
production, and multi-media services.
The objective of WIT is to enable communication, flexibility, and access.
