Arizona Earns High Marks for IT Excellence in Digital States Survey
The results of the 2024 Digital States Survey have been published. Arizona has earned an overall grade of A-minus, exemplifying qualities of a mature and continuously evolving enterprise information technology organization serving the public.
A grade of “A” reflects a state that demonstrated very strong innovation, high high-performing solutions with verifiable impacts across all categories. Excellent practices have been applied in all aspects of their operations, governance and administration.
By publishing annual IT strategic plans, securing funding for IT projects through Project Investment Justification submissions, and clearly defining and complying with statewide policies, standards and procedures, the state is fully equipped to maintain continuity in daily work, projects and initiatives to ensure ongoing success.
In the Digital States Survey category awards, Arizona earned first place for our exemplary work in resilience, recognizing the state’s ability to maintain continuous technical and business operations during peak usage, disasters and crisis conditions.
“I'm honored to work with such an excellent team and very proud of the daily work to ensure Arizona's critical systems remain operational, no matter the circumstances,” said Director of Digital Solutions Anebi Agbo, who works in the Arizona Strategic Enterprise Technology (ASET) office. “This first-place ranking is a testament to the team's dedication and expertise.”
