What we do

Representing all State of Colorado agencies and government offices, we work collaboratively to promote the use of good data to serve Coloradans. We are working to align our respective agencies to create common understandings and efficiencies and then develop resources that can be taken by agencies and adopted for use, such as guides and policies. we also provide an annual report to the Joint Technology Committee and respond to legislative tasking.

By sharing best practices across agencies and working to support the Digital Government Strategic Plan, we are creating a collaborative culture around data that helps the state operate efficiently for the benefit of Coloradans.
