IS is providing expertise and resource for the eGov programme. Once the eGov foundation is delivered IS will support it, promote its use and implement services online.

IS is currently restructuring to improve its support as the States transforms to a digital organisation. More technology projects are being introduced, IS is implementing the changes needed and supporting an increasing level of technology.
