Standards
The establishment and governance of enterprise technical standards assists agencies by laying the foundation for:
- long-term systems planning and budgeting
- cost-effective acquisition of technology products through collective bargaining power and enterprise agreements
- transparent connectivity and interoperability across systems
- the sharing of resources, both technical and personnel
- improved management by limiting alternatives
- consistent quality of information for decision making
Standards help state agencies develop technically compatible systems using a consistent approach and promote migration to enterprise solutions with known complexity and support. Learn about the Policy and Standard Numbering System
