Colorado Broadband Office
The Colorado Broadband Office leads a statewide effort to expand broadband coverage and quality for all Coloradans. Access to affordable and reliable broadband service is critical to advancing Colorado’s economic growth and competitiveness. High-speed broadband creates new jobs and attracts new industries, expands markets for new and existing businesses, enables better access to educational opportunities and resources, facilitates the delivery of healthcare services, and supports public safety. Broader deployment of broadband infrastructure and services will improve the quality of life for Coloradans and support the state’s global economic competitiveness.
Colorado Digital Service
The Colorado Digital Service is a diverse, cross-functional team of senior engineers, designers, product managers and procurement specialists serving limited "tours of civic service" in government. They work alongside dedicated civil servants in OIT and across state agencies to develop and improve user-centered solutions to Colorado's most pressing technical challenges. Learn more
Digital Government Strategic Plan
After months of engaging residents to understand what they need most from their state government, we learned that Coloradans expect modern, innovative, responsive and fully digital services. With that in mind, we launched the state's first Digital Government Strategic Plan in Sept. 2022 to make Colorado a leading innovator in digital services and responsive government.
By collaborating with our partner agencies and the Colorado Broadband Office, we’re ensuring that every decision is centered around Coloradans.
There’s no end to an initiative this large, but we’ll know we’re on the right path when Coloradans tell us that they can easily, reliably access every state service no matter where they live in our beautiful state.
GIS Coordination & Development Program
We realize the full value of geographic information systems by making access to comprehensive data, including broadband service data, seamless and formatted in a way that maximizes its benefit to decision-making in the state. We are a place where Coloradans can gain answers and expertise about GIS and its possibilities in order to expand the value of these technologies as efficiently and effectively as possible, and we are the facilitator of a robust GIS community where knowledge and information is shared freely.

ReimagineIT
In 2020, the State of Colorado and OIT launched the IT Transformation (ITT) Program to modernize government technology and improve service delivery. The ITT Final Report highlights the program’s latest achievements and provides a comprehensive review of the milestones reached since its inception four years ago. With contributions from more than 450 agency and county partners, ITT successfully completed 40 projects that increased efficiency, transparency and customer satisfaction across state IT operations.
Although the ITT program has officially concluded, the mission to modernize systems, enhance service delivery and improve access to state services continues through the implementation of the Governor’s Operational Agenda and the Colorado Digital Government Strategic Plan. Innovation remains a driving force in shaping secure, user-centered digital solutions that benefit all Coloradans.
Technology Accessibility Program
The Technology Accessibility Program (TAP) was created to help state agencies to provide equal access to state services, programs or activities. OIT, through TAP, gives state agencies tools and resources to implement up-to-date accessibility best practices such as:
- OIT's Guide to Accessible Web Services
- Accessibility Open Office Hours from 9 a.m. — 10 a.m. on Thursday mornings (For state agency employees only)
- Monthly Accessibility Newsletter
OIT helps agencies take the first steps toward improving their services’ accessibility now, and keeping up-to-date with best practices as they continue to evolve.
