What’s Agency Success?

The Agency Success team works to build relationships with BITS-supported agencies to better understand and address their needs. The Customer Success Managers (CSMs) gain a deep understanding of their assigned Communities of Business and actualize plans to help improve their strategies and day-to-day operations, while the Agency Success staff use their technical expertise to execute solutions.

What is Architecture & Strategy (AS)?

Architecture and Strategy bridges the interconnected components of BITS business to align agency and CT citizen’s business needs with changing customer expectations, regulatory needs, and risks opportunities.

The team captures BITS' enterprise components through the creation of business models, data models, application patterns, infrastructure layouts, and more. We then use these tools to implement data-driven solutions that manage risk and cost.
