Background
The Agency for Governmental IT Services was established in 2010 as the result of a merger of eight ministerial IT operations organizations.
In the years 2010-2014, we implemented a number of projects that have resulted in a series of standardized common platforms and processes, which are now the basis for the participating institutions' daily IT operations.
The transformation from differentiated heterogeneous IT environments to standardized and homogenized environments on an inter-governmental level was a large and complex task but proved successful.
Today, the Agency for Governmental IT Services acts as the Danish state's internal IT operations organization.
Our services
With focus on accessibility, stability, efficiency and security of information, the Agency for Governmental IT Services provides services in four main areas:
- The Governmental IT workplace, which is a joint governmental basic platform for the end users' IT application
- IT infrastructure operation adjusted to an appropriate division of work between the Agency for Governmental IT Services and clients
- Standardization of general administrative systems through the establishment of joint systems
- Reducing costs on outsourced operations contracts through standard tender frameworks
The delivery of these services is an interaction between in-house production and external procurement based on a strategy of selective sourcing.
