5. State IT Services

DAS OIT delivers IT and telecommunication services. DAS OIT is responsible for operating and maintaining IT and

telecommunication hardware devices, as well as the related software. This Supplement outlines a range of service

offerings from DAS OIT that enhance performance capacity and improve operational efficiency. Explanations of each

service are provided and are grouped according to the following solution categories. Where applicable, Contractors

are required and expected to incorporate these services into their solutions or provided services.

5.1. State IT Cloud Smart Strategy

Executive Order 2019-15D, “Modernizing Information Technology Systems in State Agencies,” required all

cabinet Agencies, boards and commissions to migrate information technology systems to the State’s cloud

environment managed by DAS OIT. From this Executive Order, the State IT Cloud Smart Strategy

(“Strategy”) evolved to support Customer cloud service needs. This Strategy is designed to provide a value-

driven, dynamic, and cost-effective set of differentiating core Statewide services and innovative technologies

from public and private clouds that will improve State operations and the quality of services to Ohioans.

As part of the Strategy, DAS OIT operates a Cloud Center of Excellence (“CCoE”) to focus on leveraging

the State’s investment in the private cloud, while incorporating efficiencies from public cloud providers. The

CCoE provides guidance that will assist in realizing the value of a multi-cloud investment. The goal is to

evaluate and provide the most optimal hosting environment in the State’s public and/or private clouds. The

CCoE offers a Cloud Brokerage Service (“Brokerage Service”) that supports and guides Agencies as they

look to Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) application and solution

modernization opportunities.

Any proposed Statewide or individual Customer solution must comply with the Strategy.

The following graphic illustrates Agency, DAS OIT, cloud service provider (i.e., cloud vendor), and vendor

managed responsibilities for each of the cloud services offered through the Brokerage Service, including the

private cloud. These service offerings are described in further detail in the sections below. Please note that

some solutions may span more than one of these categories, depending on the Agency’s business need.
