The department also sets and monitors high standards of accountability to ensure that state government uses tax dollars productively. To fulfill its mission, DAS supports state agencies by providing a strong and stable management infrastructure. As part of this effort, DAS works with private enterprise, citizens, and other government entities to develop an efficient service delivery system.

Customer-led utility boards for each DAS service enterprise will reflect the voices of the agency's diverse customer base and include agencies of all sizes.
