Information management

Digital information management includes both data management and records management. There are standards and principles governing data and public records in the digital space, as well as requirements for protecting people’s privacy and managing security online. All of these need to be considered together to develop good information management practices.

Copyright and licensing

The New Zealand Government open access and licensing framework — known as NZGOAL — provides guidance about releasing copyright and non-copyright material for re-use by others.

Investment

Investment management in the state sector is led by Treasury. The Government Chief Digital Officer (GCDO) as the functional lead for digital, and the Government Chief Data Steward (GCDS) as the functional lead for data, provide advice to Treasury and to agencies.

Procurement

The government's ICT strategy and supporting work programme includes a focus on streamlining common ICT procurement processes.
