Dear Colleague:
It is my pleasure to submit for your review Washington State's first "Strategic Information Technology Plan," as required by RCW 43.105.160. This plan will serve as the foundation for state government information technology planning. It was developed by the Department of Information Services' (DIS) Policy and Regulation Division after discussions with and recommendations from numerous state agency executives and information technology professionals. The plan was adopted by the Information Services Board in December, 1992.
Information technology supports core organizational goals, and is a tool that helps agencies meet their goals and serve their clients. The strategic plan is a call to action to use information technology to improve government effectiveness.
The plan is designed to optimize, coordinate, and deploy state of Washington information technology resources to support and enable effective government operations and public service. It establishes four goals:
1. Improve service delivery to the public through the use of information
technology.
2. Make information more accessible through an affordable and widely-
available communications infrastructure.
3. Use information technology to respond quickly to changing business
requirements.
4. Invest in people, tools, methods, and partnerships that support agency
missions through information technology in government.
The state strategic plan guides individual agency strategic information technology plans. These plans will be reviewed by DIS' Policy and Regulation Division to ensure compliance with the state strategic plan.
State government now has a high level focus towards strategic planning that will improve this important segment of state government. It will help ensure that we work together to make the best and most cost-effective use of information technology.
If you have any questions or comments about this plan, please feel free to contact me at 753-0400.
Sincerely,
CLARE DONAHUE, Deputy Director

Dear Mr. Brown:
RE: ANNUAL EFFICIENCY COMMISSION REPORT
The original legislation enacting the Efficiency Commission directed the Commission to develop a four-year work plan to be presented to the Legislature by December 31, 1987. The Commission was directed to present an annual report to the Legislature annually, no later than December 31, on its progress toward completing the four-year plan and on its recommendations for operational and organizational improvements in state government. The reenacting legislation only changed the expiration date of the Commission, and did not specifically address whether an annual report was still required.
The Efficiency Commission has submitted an annual report since 1987. The Governor is the chair of the Commission. With the transition occurring, the Commission has deferred preparing the report in order to incorporate any changes a new chair might suggest in operations or focus. The Commission hopes to have these decisions made in the next few months.
Please accept our request to delay submittal of the Efficiency Commission annual report until March 31, 1993.
Sincerely,
CAROLE CHEATLE, Executive Director
Efficiency and Accountability Commission
The Select Committee Report is on file in the Office of the Secretary of the Senate.
