Project Description: DTI is comprehensively addressing the broadband infrastructure challenges throughout Delaware. The broadband funding stream is the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). This provides a singular opportunity to fund many of the initiatives identified by DTI as critical to achieving best-in-class broadband access for all Delaware residents. Over 11,600 addresses have been identified, and DTI will be working with several federal funding opportunities to provide service over the next several years. ARPA 18 month project will see the installations for at least 4318 constituents.

Current Status: Given the additional funding made accessible through several federal programs specifically targeting broadband efforts, Delaware has revised its original investment plan of ARPA dollars to maximize the potential of all available resources. Beginning in September 2022, an 18 month project using ARPA funding began. ARPA funding will connect over 4,318 households/businesses. Vendor Statements of Work are complete with the three ARPA engaged carriers: Verizon, Mediacom and Comcast. Regular project meetings with Comcast, Verizon, and Mediacom are underway. The broadband internet sites are updated with the latest information regarding broadband deployment and mapping. The project is well underway with approximately 35% of ARPA designated addresses now having access to a wired high speed broadband connection.

Project Description: Secure End User Services (SEUS) is the active phase of IT centralization. SEUS offers the greatest chance for Delaware to modernize and evolve its IT infrastructure and resources in a way that best supports agency business needs to meet citizen expectations now and into the future. SEUS will equitably deliver the essential technologies and tools for a productive, secure State workforce. Agencies and workers benefit from standard enterprise tools, security, training, governance, and 24x7x365 support. SEUS is comprised of six enterprise components: Service Desk, Desktop, Network and Connectivity, Voice Services, Email and Collaboration, and Security Suite. These critical services are funded by a consumption-based (per-employee/month) cost recovery model. In accordance with Senate Bill 153, all Executive Branch technical personnel and assets will be centralized in order to deliver technology in the most efficient and consistent manner possible with the resources the state has available. IT centralization offers the greatest chance for Delaware to modernize and evolve its IT infrastructure and resources in a way that best supports agency business needs to meet citizen expectations now and into the future.

Project Description: Delaware wants residents and visitors to be at the center of everything we do. The design and functionality of Delaware’s digital government experience must be well-crafted, intuitive, accessible, and offer fast and focused transactions that result in a satisfying experience. Delivering on this outcome requires partnership across state agencies, and a commitment to the on-going evolution of Delaware’s digital platform. The Digital Government Foundation Program will draw from best practices found in successful agency initiatives such as the Department of State’s One Stop and Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control’s Digital DNREC. These programs highlight both the demand for an improved digital experience and an increase in customer usage and satisfaction. In addition, user experience research, application and transactional data analysis and resident dialog will derive priorities and expectations. The culmination of this multi-layered technology and end user platform will result in a transformative experience for Delaware’s residents and visitors by providing digital access to an increasing number of government services.

Current Status: Sign-off on a multi-phase Statement of Work and Professional Service Agreement for the Digital Government Platform Foundation Program was completed in December 2022. The program is in the planning phase with the current focus on developing technical specifications and environment connectivity requirements to begin development.

Project Description: DNREC seeks to replace most, if not all, of its permitting, licensing and registration applications with a dynamic and customer friendly portal. This cloud based solution will interface with online payment acceptance, First Map, EQuIS, compliance monitoring, as well as document management systems.

Project Description: The goal of the DE Integrated Data System (DIDS) is to establish a means for state agencies to collaborate more efficiently providing better cross agency services which will lead to better outcomes for state citizens. The DIDS will first create individual data systems (IDS) within partner agencies to provide a single analytical platform. The agencies will use their IDS to perform analytics for current policies and forecast potential changes to policies. Then DIDS comes together when two or more partner agencies wish to share data to create broader, deeper, and more meaningful data sets. When this occurs, the project will merge individual IDS's to create a cross-agency integrated data system.

Current Status: The "business" side of this project is operational. The DTI DIDS team has been established and is actively engaging with Agency Partners working to develop use-cases for dataset development. The team has narrowed their scope from integrating multiple agencies within a dataset to developing individual datasets within a single agency. On the technical side, the team has configured two new tools; Cloud Pak for Data (to replace DTI's on-premises DataStage application) and Snowflake (to augment DTI's data management capability). Of the two new tools, Snowflake is operational and Cloud Pak for Data is in the implementation phase. Before the team can go-live with Cloud Pak for Data, the existing functionality of the on-premises DataStage application must be migrated over; the team has completed about 50% of the migration to-date. This remaining work is expected to be complete by June 30, 2023.
