Information technology operations for the State of North Dakota are consolidated for nearly all of the state’s government entities with the Information Technology Department (ITD). Although most services and systems run in the state capital of Bismarck, ITD also provides network access via a statewide network to K-12, Higher-Ed and various regional facilities. There are more than 300 geographically dispersed school districts that depend on ITD for hosting a common student information system platform. The IT Operations team is also tasked with monitoring presidential and state election services.
