Rule 12-4-2.3 - Approvals for Internet-based Applications and Services for State AgenciesA. E-government applications and services require additional review and approval by ITS and by DFA (in contrast to traditional software applications.) Because of the multiple costing models used by vendors for e-government applications, as well as the necessity for ensuring appropriate security for all public-facing applications, the normal ITS procurement delegations to agencies do not apply for these types of acquisitions. In addition, DFA must approve and schedule any implementations that involve payments. See 001-025 Approvals for Internet-based Applications and Services in the ITS Procurement Handbook. http://dsitspe01.its.ms.qov/its/procman.nsf/TOC4?OpenView [File Link Not Available]
