ITD provides a managed and monitored 802.11abgn wireless network solution that can be installed in state government, K-12 education, and political subdivision locations.

The statewide WAN provides gateway services to the public internet and functions as a private fault-tolerant network allowing for interconnectivity within government and education.

Unified communications (UC) is the integration of real-time communication services such as instant messaging (chat), presence information, VoIP, video conferencing, data sharing, call control and speech recognition with non-real-time communication services such as unified messaging (integrated Voicemail, Email, SMS and Fax).

ITD offers an internally hosted web-based solution for secure password management, where teams can access and share sensitive password resources.

Network services accommodate an every-increasing amount of data, voice, video, and multimedia traffic over a statewide backbone to support the missions of government and education.

IT Security ensures that an organization's material and software resources are used only for their intended purposes. At ITD, security is a part of everything we do. 

Instant Messaging (IM) allows real-time communication with contacts. 

Email (electronic mail) is a means of transmitting computer-based messages over a network, typically the Internet. Today's email programs are often bundled with other tools designed to improve collaboration, such as calendars, contact lists, and task lists. 

ITD utilizes Windows Server Upgrade Service (WSUS) to manage OS and Microsoft Office patching, and to give administrators control over hot-fixes and updates released to computers within an organization.

Anti-Virus/Spyware software is used to prevent, detect, and remove malware, including viruses, worms, and spyware. A desktop firewall, an optional part of the Anti-Virus/Spyware software provided by ITD, protects computers by controlling what can be sent or received from a computer connected to the Internet.

Access and Authorization services provide a security framework for controlling who can use IT resources and what degree of activities, resources, or services they are permitted.
