The Department of Technology Services (DTS) was officially established by Governor Jon M. Huntsman, Jr. and the State Legislature with the passage of the Utah Technology Governance Act (H.B.109) in 2005, calling for a major restructuring of the State’s Information Technology (IT) services.

Since that time, under the State’s Chief Information Officer (CIO), DTS has embarked on an unprecedented transition to consolidate all IT resources and services for the State of Utah into one department to improve accountability, reduce costs, increase services to taxpayers, and more closely align IT with the business needs of the State of Utah.

In a collaborative effort, DTS has established a close working relationship with its stakeholders to ensure that the state’s IT organization is responsive, accountable, and well-aligned to the business needs of the State of Utah.

DTS has also established a performance-based strategy to provide ongoing alignment to the requirements defined by DTS customers. This strategy has presented DTS with opportunities to supportively partner with other agencies to improve performance across state government.
