About Us

The Applications Services Section is responsible for information systems development and support. Using best practices in application development and project management, the section works with DEP programs to design and develop up-to-date technology solutions. By assisting programs in exploring new technology and integrating it with existing software assets, the section helps the agency streamline and automate its processes.

The section also assists in developing strategic plans for department-wide information systems. Section staff coordinates within the agency and with other state, federal and regional organizations to develop standards and procedures, which promote data sharing and database integration. They analyze and evaluate system requirements, design new and modified systems, write computer programs, participate in testing and training; and document, implement and maintain the information systems.
