The mission of the Department of Information Technology (DoIT) is to design, build, procure, implement and support Information Systems and Technology that help all Westchester County departments and stakeholder agencies operate more effectively and efficiently, and to make information more accessible.
 
Upon entering office in 1998, County Executive Andy Spano resurrected this previously outsourced department and vowed to make government more accessible and cost-effective through technology. Over the past ten years, DoIT has received numerous awards & accolades in recognition of its efforts, including several NACo Achievement Awards, NYS Forum's 2008 "Best of the Web" Award for westchestergov.com & contributed to Westchester's ranking as one of the "Top 10 Digital Counties in the US" (four years in a row) and even one of the "Top 7 Intelligent Communities of the World" by the Intelligent Community Forum.   

The department is comprised of many seasoned professionals, including Marguerite Beirne, who has served as chief information officer since 2007. DoIT's staff of 160 strong has an average of 15 years of service.
