How MNIT Delivers Services
MNIT delivers IT Services through a hybrid model of service delivery. Services that are unique to a line of government business are delivered locally by MNIT’s Chief Business Technology Officers and their teams. These services include supporting agency-specific applications, and projects. These local services are a direct pass-through charge to the agencies.
Services that maximize efficiencies and reduce cost are delivered as Enterprise Services. Enterprise Services include tools like email, desktop support, and telephone services. MNIT charges enterprise rates for its Enterprise Services, and makes all IT-related expenditures on behalf of Minnesota’s executive branch agencies
