About NITC

The Nebraska Information Technology Commission (NITC) is a nine-member commission established by the Legislature to provide advice, strategic direction, and accountability on information technology investments in the state. To achieve its mandate, the NITC relies on coordination and collaboration to influence a wide range of information technology issues. The NITC annually prepares a Statewide Technology Plan, provides biannual recommendations on technology investments to the Governor and the Legislature, and adopts technical standards, guidelines, and architectures. The NITC is assisted by six advisory groups: the Community, Education, eHealth, GIS, and State Government Councils and the Technical Panel. The eHealth and State Government Councils are currently inactive.
