IT Steering Committee

The IT Steering Committee provides strategic direction for Hawaii state government technology projects, setting priorities for major system investments and reviewing proposals before they advance through procurement. It oversees adherence to the state IT strategic plan and ensures large technology projects are aligned with agency missions. The committee's approvals or rejections determine which digital modernization efforts move forward.

When state IT projects succeed or fail, it affects residents' access to government services online; this committee is the oversight body that is supposed to prevent costly failures.
