Scope

If you're just learning about the Governor's Office for Technology (GOT), the first thing you should know is that we cover a lot of ground in Kentucky government. If it has to do with technology and the Commonwealth, chances are we're involved and making a difference. GOT has over 630 state employees and contractors with offices in Frankfort, London and Bowling Green. We're moving from a services organization to being an organization that provides technology leadership and solutions, helping the Commonwealth work more efficiently. The GOT management staff is leading that change and have become leaders on a national level (see "Recognition").

GOT is working in a wide range of areas in Kentucky state government. Examples include:

  • Helping the state create a Unified Criminal Justice Information System (UCJIS) that will improve public safety by dramatically improving how criminal justice information is gathered and shared statewide

  • Maintaining the Kentucky Information Highway (KIH) which provides Internet, voice and data services to state office buildings in all 120 Kentucky counties

  • Helping the Transportation Cabinet build a Website so truckers can more easily pay their taxes

  • Delivering funding and support to help bridge the digital divide in Louisville

  • Overseeing Kentucky's wireless 911 efforts to better identify where an emergency wireless call is coming from and who is making the call

  • Guiding the creation and use of digital maps and geographic information for urban and rural planning and growth

You can learn more in our "Office Summary" section.
