CiviTek Background CiviTek is a wholly owned subsidiary of FCCC and was established to provide enterprise services and project management services, including information technology, to the Clerks, in order to meet legislative directives and serve the public in the most efficient manner. CiviTek is managed by a seven-member board of Clerks, elected each year by their peers. The CiviTek model is similar to those in use by other local government associations in Florida. Revenues in excess of current expenditures are reinvested into project enhancements and used as reserves for contingencies and future projects.

CiviTek Background Established in 1991, the Services Group’s goal is to develop programs that benefit Florida’s Clerks of Court and Comptrollers and state agencies in gathering Clerk data to better service Florida’s citizens. The objective of these programs is to provide high-value services at economic prices, in order for Clerks and state agencies to maximize the use of scarce public resources. The consortium approach became FCCC’s primary way of assisting Clerks to implement new technology; to provide standardized, statewide services; and to establish secure, highly reliable processes for mission critical functions.
