Success lies in driving a unified understanding of Mission, Functions, Roles, Responsibilities, and Authorities across enterprise and agency levels.
Clearly defined roles ensure accountability, empowering leaders to act with confidence and clarity.

[James.Taylor @FLTechCouncil]

Florida is not pursuing full consolidation of agency IT functions—instead, the focus is on alignment, not absorption. A unified approach means maintaining agency independence while building coordinated systems, shared goals, and enterprise-wide efficiencies.
