Overview – Vision Statement The State of Alaska will establish a centralized enterprise directory and Email/Collaboration system based on Windows 2003 and Exchange 2003 or successor products for state employees serving within the Executive Branch. Enterprise Technology Services (ETS) will assume responsibility for the maintenance of the enterprise suite of infrastructure services, but ownership and control of the Active Directory objects within the enterprise will remain under agency discretion. This allows the State of Alaska to benefit from a centralized offering and consolidation, without sacrificing the relationships between agency IT Staff and agency end users.
