Our Mission

Our mission is to assist States in establishing a process framework to guide alignment of technologies with both business requirements and technical needs. The intended users are the State Technical and Program support team. As legacy systems age and technology changes are needed, it has become apparent to most States that the complexities of leveraging and upgrading technologies present challenges and opportunities for the Information Technology (IT) community.
