The DCT is best described as a senior level ITS executive embedded within a single agency or several similar agencies. They are backed up by both dedicated and shared services teams in support of those individual agencies, aligned with the State’s overall technology vision. 

Meet the DCTs

As part of the Dedicated Agency model, Shared Services provides strong, secure foundational support to the Deputy Commissioners for Technology and the agencies they serve, including ITS employees. Shared Services and the offices therein are equally important to the success of ITS as the Dedicated Agency IT sector, allowing the whole organization to respond with agility and provide high-quality products to serve agency client needs.
