The Information Technology Office (ITO) is responsible for setting government-wide policies and standards in IT infrastructure, IT support services, security, telecommunications and citizen service delivery. Operating under the direction of the Deputy Minister, the ITO is also leading the government's internal IT services consolidation initiative.

The ITO's activities can be grouped into four main areas, focussed on its vision of enabling excellence in government service delivery through leadership and exceptional customer service in information technology:

• Providing IT services to government
• Developing government-wide IT policies and plans
• Delivering IT governance and coordination within government
• Creating a climate that fosters a prosperous IT industry in Saskatchewan

Based in Regina, Saskatoon, Prince Albert, Swift Current, Yorkton, and Meadow Lake, the ITO currently provides IT services to more than 9,000 government employees in 20 ministries and agencies. These numbers are expected to increase over the coming year with the IT staff of "partner ministries" being transferred to the ITO as a result of the government IT consolidation initiative.

We invite you to visit the various links and sections of this Web site to find out more about the ITO, its operations, and its efforts to assist all government ministries in providing quality, efficient services to Saskatchewan citizens.
