Information Technology Authorization Committee (ITAC)

Arizona State Government is divided into three branches: Executive - led by the Governor; the Legislative - led by the elected leaders of the House of Representatives and Senate; and, the Judicial - led by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. The Information Technology Authorization Committee (ITAC), established in A.R.S. 18-121 and implemented through A.A.C. 18-2 , has jurisdiction to approve or reject IT projects with development costs exceeding $1 million for all three branches of government.

ITAC’s membership includes representatives of all three branches, well as members with private sector experience in IT, and one at-large member who can be appointed from either the private sector, or state government service.  The members receive no compensation for their considerable service in this capacity.

This assemblage brings together a statewide view of IT that can help policymakers and the public understand the challenges and opportunities facing IT professionals in public service. ITAC’s fundamental goal is to maximize the benefits derived from the public investment in computer systems, software and applications, and to minimize the risk of failure in application development and implementation. In most instances, the ITAC monthly meetings are the only public forums available for IT projects in Arizona’s State Agencies.

ITAC receives support from the staff of the Arizona Strategic Enterprise Technology (ASET) office in preparing all meeting materials and presenting documentation on project justifications and status. ASET staff monitors Project Status and delivers reports from the agencies at least quarterly on all projects approved by
 ITAC. ITAC also provides important advice and feedback to ASET on agency initiatives, projects, standards and activities.
