A Message from the Chief Information Officer
The Department of Justice plays a leading role in the activities
of the nation's law enforcement, judicial, and intelligence communities.
The Department's investments provide funding and guidance to national
and international efforts, but are also part of a broad, integrated
set of activities that involve local, state, and tribal governments.
Not only does the Department build systems that protect our citizens,
but grant funding provided by the Department is used so that local
jurisdictions can build systems and programs to keep their communities
safe.
In 2002, I released an initial version of the Department of Justice
Information Technology Strategic Plan (ITSP), and since then we
have periodically updated the plan. This document represents the
latest major update, as we continually seek to more closely align
our technology investments with the priorities of the Department
and to build upon the programs, tools, and standards that we have
delivered to date.
The Department currently spends over $2.4 billion annually on information
technology investments. This includes hardware, software, and personnel
to manage a complex and secure infrastructure. It is imperative
that these investments be undertaken in a cost-effective manner ― they
must be managed to bring the greatest return on investment and
they must be secure. Everything we do within the Office of the
CIO looks at the value of the investment, and ensures that what
we build can be protected and utilized by our partners at all levels
of government. As we move forward, our job is to make sure
that every dollar invested in information technology provides the
greatest return and makes the best possible use of our resources.
This update to our ITSP starts with a review of my role, and by
extension the role of the Office of the Chief Information Officer,
within the Department. It then goes on to discuss the key
drivers which shape our working environment. Next, I outline our
strategy ― our response to the key drivers within the parameters
of our role.
We have made great progress in helping to support the critical
mission activities of the Department. OCIO personnel have built
new enterprise systems, helped obtain funding for the components,
and validated the security of new systems. OCIO has also put the
technical infrastructure in place to allow the Department to meet
the increasing expectations of our customers and the public. These
accomplishments help the men and women of DOJ execute on our diverse
mission across the Department. In support of that mission,
I believe that this ITSP provides valuable information to the IT
professionals across the Department who continue to support their
customers and ultimately the goals of the Department’s leadership
team.
Sincerely,
Vance Hitch
Chief Information Officer
