Our agency's Chief Information Officer and the entire Information Technology Services (ITS) Department is committed to ensuring that the OCC has the most productive and innovative technology tools available. The ITS department's goal is to become a "world class IT shop." We can't achieve that goal without employing the most innovative technology and business professionals available.

Why Should I Choose the OCC for my IT Career?

The OCC continues to pursue excellence in all areas of information technology. We want our staff to be the best and brightest technology business professionals. The agency believes in committing significant training dollars for the IT staff so we can maintain a technology edge in the work place.

Here at the OCC, you will have the opportunity to be part of a team that has a strong foundation of research, innovation, and customer service. ITS has teams of professionals and depending on the project and your expertise, you will have the opportunity to be a member of many teams over the course of your career.

Each ITS team has an expertise such as Internet/Intranet/Extranet, Client-Server, Data Warehousing, Lotus Notes, and R&D. However, project teams are created with the staffs from these different teams coming together to create the best IT solutions for customers.

ITS knows that our most critical success factor is our ability to partner with the staff in other OCC business units to ensure we provide the best technology alternatives for their business processes. We need people who not only have the technology skill sets but also the business acumen to understand the business of our customers. Perhaps that someone is YOU!!

What are Some of the Current IT Initiatives at the OCC?

ITS has many new initiatives that will be implemented in the next 12-18 months. The following are just a few of the initiatives some of our teams are working on:

  • Our Information Services area is developing data marts and a data warehouse, building our first Extranet application, and increasing our use and development of Lotus Notes and client-server applications.
  • Our Customer Services area is implementing a new inventory management system and continuing to build our expert help desk system.
  • Our Network Sevices area is implementing a consolidated server site, building a stronger telecommunications network, consolidating our e-mail systems and web-enabling our mainframe applications.
  • Our Research area is researching the deployment of technology for our customers such as "push technology," a stronger video conferencing network, web-enabling our mainframe applications and supporting the other ITS teams in their efforts to ensure that the best technology alternatives are implemented at the OCC.
  • The entire ITS staff is building our expertise in Internet/Intranet/Extranet design and supporting other OCC business units as they develop their own sites on our net.

Are you Ready for the Challenge?

If you have the technology skill sets to move the OCC forward in the information age and the 21st century, you should consider an IT career with the OCC. Most IT positions are located at the OCC's Headquarters in Washington, D.C., and our Data Center in Landover, Maryland. Some IT opportunities exist in our offices nationwide.
