The Agency for Enterprise Information Technology was created by the 2007 Legislature to be a centralized enterprise information technology agency that reports to the governor and Cabinet. The agency's primary responsibility is to plan enterprise services and develop enterprise policy and recommendations. The agency serves as the single point of accountability for large-scale, multi-agency enterprise projects.
