"Management ensures that decisions are made and choices occur within a framework where measurement, analysis, and information management - management by fact - are the major ingredients."

Statewide Information Technology

After the implementation of SB991 in 2004, OSBM received significant additional oversight of agency IT projects and the Information Technology Services (ITS) budget. This includes the rates ITS charges agencies for services.

Information Technology Consolidation

OSBM and ITS jointly manage a pilot project involving the consolidation of IT infrastructure across agencies. More information can be found at the project website.

Project Approval

OSBM reviews all IT projects as part of the Project Portfolio Management (PPM) initiative run by the State Enterprise Project Management Office (EPMO). It evaluates and approves the business case for these projects at the various stages of its development based on its published policy. General information on making the business case for a project can be found here. Information on how to conduct cost-benefit analysis (as part of a business case) can be found in the OSBM report on Lease Purchase and Installment Purchase Activity.

Contractor Conversion

OSBM is currently reviewing agency requests to convert IT contractors to permanent positions according to our published guidance. Agencies should use our request form.

Should you have any questions concerning the above materials or the responsibilities of the OSBM in information technology oversight please contact:
