Vision and Mission

Vision

Capture 21st Century technologies to deliver services to Idaho's citizens.

Mission

The Information Technology Resource Management Council (ITRMC) reviews and evaluates the information technology and telecommunications systems presently in use by state agencies, and prepares statewide short and long-range IT and Telecommunications Plans.

Within the context of those plans, the ITRMC establishes statewide IT and telecommunications policies, standards, guidelines and conventions assuring uniformity and compatibility of state agency systems. The ITRMC, established in 1996, follows the philosophy of local control and central coordination, and has statutory authority, HB 661.

ITRMC will develop and implement a comprehensive statewide information technology infrastructure to enhance the delivery of accurate, timely and appropriate services for Idahoans while increasing their economic vitality.
