1 9 and efficiency.
1 10 3. Considerations of both cost and the need for the
1 11 transfer of information among the various agencies and
1 12 branches of state government in the most timely and useful
1 13 form possible require uniform standards and coordinated
1 14 systems for the use of information technologies.
1 15 4. The appropriate use of information technology by the
1 16 state can improve operational productivity, reduce the cost of
1 17 government, enhance service to the citizens of Iowa, and make
1 18 government more accessible to the public.
1 19 5. The use of information technology to provide government
1 20 services directly to citizens can be a cost-effective method
1 21 of delivering such services.

1 23 technology resources must be enacted to accomplish all of the

1 28 business operations.

1 33 the productive application of information technology and
1 34 resources to accomplish the missions and goals of state
1 35 government.
2 1 8. Oversight of large-scale systems or projects is
2 2 necessary to protect the state's investment and to ensure
2 3 appropriate integration with existing or planned systems.
2 4 9. Appropriate public-private partnerships to supplement
2 5 existing resources must be developed as a strategy for the
2 6 state to comprehensively meet its information technology
2 7 needs.
2 8 10. Establishment of an information technology department
2 9 is necessary to achieve the goals identified in this section,
2 10 to effectively plan for, develop, and manage information
2 11 technology and related resources, and to assure that the needs
