DoIT is the state’s primary agency for managing and promoting the use of technology and data to improve government services and to drive economic growth. The department provides support to state government and helps to create innovative solutions for the state’s citizens. This year, DoIT is celebrating Innovation and Technology Month by highlighting some of the ways that technology has improved the lives of Illinoisans.

One of the most significant achievements of DoIT is the development of the Illinois Data Exchange, which is a secure data platform that enables the sharing of data between different government entities.
