The unit ensures an overview and management of the IT system portfolio, including the underlying development plan.

The unit manages ongoing IT governance in relation to development and system management in close collaboration with system owners, system managers, project managers, and other business partners. The unit also maintains ongoing dialogue with the Central State IT (Statens IT) regarding the operation of the National Archives’ systems and tasks related to maintaining the portfolio of IT systems and IT development environments.
