The Office of the Chief Technology
Officer, OCTO, “develops and enforces policies and standards for
information technology in the District government. OCTO identifies where
and how technology can systematically support the business processes of
the District’s 68 agencies. Agencies can draw on OCTO’s expertise to get
the most out of their technological investments. OCTO also assesses new
and emerging technologies to determine their potential application to
District programs and services. Finally, OCTO promotes the compatibility
of computer and communications systems throughout the District government.”
