Publication Summary

Ecology's 1996 Information Technology (IT) Strategic Plan updates and refines the IT direction presented in the agency's 1994 IT Plan and its 1995 Information Strategy Plan (ISP). The 1995 ISP is a high level plan to support a systematic, incremental effort to improve the existing information systems and to meet current and emerging information needs. These plans provide a direction for Ecology's use of information technology and respond to a number of business drivers. Through the identification of these drivers and associated information needs, Ecology has developed its information management vision. Consistent with this vision and the state IT goals and strategies, Ecology has developed IT goals and strategies that are presented in this plan.
