The Department of Information Technology's Mission:

We make technology work for the City.
The Department of Information Technology (DoIT) harnesses the power of computers and telecommunications to help City government serve Seattle’s residents and businesses. The Chief Technology Officer sets technology standards and strategies to ensure City government uses technology tools efficiently, effectively and wisely.

DoIT builds and operates a wide variety of technology tools and systems supporting the missions of every department in City government. We also support systems and policies that increase the convenience and security of online customer transactions.

DoIT provides telephone, computer, radio and fiber optic networks to help the Seattle Department of Transportation and other City departments monitor, manage and control the movement of people and freight throughout the city.

DoIT installs and maintains networks that allow people to reach police, fire, courts and law to request service, via 911 and other means. DoIT operates technology to allow rapid, efficient dispatch of officers to requests for service.

DoIT works with the city’s schools, colleges, libraries, King County, and other public agencies to build and operate networks that allow the people of Seattle access to education, culture and life-long learning.

DoIT operates a community technology program to help ensure every constituent has some access to computers and the Internet. The City’s technology and network infrastructure – operated by DoIT – is used by every department to deliver power, water, recreation, safety and human services to the people of Seattle. The Seattle Channel and City’s Web site work together to keep Seattleites informed, give them access to services, and allow them to participate in governing.
