Directorates

We are the Virginia IT agency

The Virginia Information Technologies Agency has evolved, innovated and adapted to the ever-changing virtual environment and digital landscape during its 16 years of existence.

We have proudly pioneered new technologies, new ways of doing business and charted new territory in our industry -- and no industry moves or changes faster.

Our employees and partners have come together to reimagine VITA's new mission, vision and guiding principles and how we are visually recognized as an agency.

Among our transformative accomplishments, we've stabilized and grown a diverse, market-driven portfolio of new and adaptable services for Virginians.
