FAQs: New Web Service Process and Vendor Transition
ITS is the initial point for ITS supported agencies/offices requesting all website-related services, including maintenance, development, technical support. Our vendors offer these services as well and also handle payment processing.
ITS has incorporated web service capabilities by adding contracted resources. Requests will be routed to ITS Enterprise Architecture (EA) and ITS Hosting for ITS web services.
- If an ITS supported agency has a need for an online service (forms, platform service, website payment processing) it starts with filling out the Web Service Request form, located at: https://forms.office.com/g/BygDPSZMKA
- Executive branch agencies who want to access the IT Administrative Fee fund should complete the above form.
- All other entities contact approved contracted vendors directly.
- ITS reviews the request. ITS will evaluate the request to identify if we can complete the request internally.
- Agencies engage with vendors directly. The review ITS performs is to simply route work that ITS will complete and refer the rest to our vendor partners.
- Optional: Agency may request funding from the IT Administrative Fee fund committee to help fund or subsidize the costs in the returned proposal. The evaluates and accepts or declines the agency funding request.
