Department of Information Technology

Following the change of the institution’s name to the “Department of Information Technology” (DOIT) in 2012, DOIT reconfirms its key role in the information technology management of Taipei City Government. However, the division of labor within the institution continues to reflect those from previous eras – all the way back to its days as the Computer Information Office. Given the rapid development of ITC in recent years, the management structure and promotion strategies for related technologies and applications have also seen drastic shifts as well.

To ensure that the agency continues to perform its duties in bridging the gap among ICT applications and structure both domestically and globally, as well as considering practical needs for management, DOIT initiated its structural reorganization to better adapt itself to the rapidly shifting world of ICT. On July 1, 2021, the Taipei City Council approved the agency’s revised structure. Instead of 4 divisions, today’s DOIT comprises 5 centers:

(1) Digital Strategy Center: Overall planning, promotion, and management of Taipei City Government’s enterprise structure, digital talent resources, digital service procedures, digital project performances, and digital maintenance assessment.

(2) Cyber Security Center: Planning, promotion, and management of Taipei City Government’s information security, ICT operation management, ICT asset management, ICT user account management, and ICT infrastructure construction.

(3) System Development Center: Planning, development, and maintenance of Taipei City Government’s shared administration information framework, shared service information system, and shared system development platform.

(4) Data Governance Center: Planning, development, and maintenance of Taipei City Government’s data flow, data integration, open data, and data analysis.

(5) Digital Innovation Center: Planning, development, and maintenance of Taipei City Government’s public service innovation, digital equality of citizens, and city digital transformation.

(6) Secretariat Office: Execution of administrative policies; document filing; collections and disbursements of cash; property management; research; evaluation; general administration; and affairs that do not fall under the jurisdiction of other divisions.

(7) Accounting Office: Preparation of annual auditing and accounting affairs, as well as statistical business.

(8) Personnel Office: Personnel management.

(9) Government Ethics Office: Monitoring and reviewing of government ethics affairs.
