What is the Department of Information Services (DIS)?
The Department of Information Services (DIS) is a Washington State agency charged under chapter 43.105 RCW with providing information technology (IT) services to state and local government entities and qualifying non-profits. We provide telecommunications, computing and digital government services to more than 700 state agencies, boards and commissions, local governments, tribal organizations and qualifying non-profits. We operate a secure, statewide standards-based telecommunications network providing reliable, economical voice, data and video communications. The DIS data center is one of the largest in the Northwest, combining both client server and mainframe computing in a secure, controlled environment. We also operate the state’s award-winning Internet portal, Access Washington, a single point of entry to government information and services for citizens and business.
