Agency Profile
Mission:
Statewide Outcome(s):
MN.IT also provides optional services to, and collaborates with cities,
counties and educational institutions.
Measuring Success:
MN.IT is currently establishing measureable service metrics that will pertain
to the newly consolidated organization. They will measure specific service
effectiveness, overall customer satisfaction and progress toward the goals
outlined in the States Master Plan, i.e., the degree to which information
technology enables state agencies to better accomplish their business goals
and to more efficiently and effectively deliver services to the citizens of
Minnesota (http://mn.gov/oet/images/Master_Plan_2012.pdf).
Several of the objectives aligned with the strategies above relate to MN.ITs
data center consolidation strategy. Those objectives include the following:
Trends, Policies and Other Issues Affecting the Demand for Services,
Facilities, or Capital Programs
Taken together, the MN.IT Master Plan, Strategic Plan and Two-Year
Tactical Plan lay the groundwork for a more stable, secure and function-rich
and
The primary facilities that relate to MN.IT Services are data centers. Data
center facilities house equipment for data processing, communication, and
storage. They are essential for government operations and citizen services
such as 911 emergency response, tax collections, and criminal records.
The condition of the states data centers is on the verge of compromise and
poses a serious and growing risk to government and citizen data, services,
and programs. The majority of the states data centers are at Tier I the
lowest ranking possible on the well-regarded scale from the Uptime Institute.
The states data center facilities need to be rated at least at the industrys
Tier III level to adequately protect itself and serve the public.
Multiple problems contribute to the vulnerabilities of the states data centers.
They are built to 40 year-old guidelines and most facilities are retrofitted
office space lacking key mechanical and electrical capabilities. Some critical
agency infrastructure is essentially run out of home and garage type power
