The Office of Information and Communications Technology provides enterprise-wide oversight of ICT programmes, budgets and decision-making – to ensure alignment with the Secretariat’s overall ICT strategy, in support of the Organization’s mission.
The office focuses on strategic, long-term improvements across the Secretariat, through efficient management and development of its global ICT infrastructure; enterprise applications (such as IMIS, email and ODS); project management frameworks; ICT governance; and establishment of ICT policies, architecture and standards. OICT also provides services to meet the overall ICT needs of UN Headquarters and, in cooperation with the Department of Peacekeeping Operations, for lease lines and satellite communications to overseas duty stations.
