Operations

The Operations team powers the financial engine of the Office of Technology Services (OTS). By running on a fee-for-service model, OTS delivers cost-effective solutions that maximize efficiency and accountability. Instead of relying on state appropriations, we recover costs through inter-agency transfers and carefully managed self-generated revenue, ensuring every dollar directly supports innovation and service excellence.
