The Center for Technology in Government (CTG) is an applied research center committed to improving government and public services through policy, management, and technology innovation. Through its program of partnership, research, and innovation, the Center provides government organizations and individuals with an array of tools and resources designed to support the development of a digital government. The goal of every CTG partnership project is to build knowledge that improves the way government works. CTG projects have helped state, local, and federal agencies increase productivity and coordination, reduce costs, enhance quality, and deliver better services to citizens and businesses. The results generated by each project add to a growing knowledge base designed to support the work of both government professionals and academic researchers. CTG receives funding through the University at Albany's state allocation, as well through grants and awards from foundations and federal agencies such as the National Science Foundation. Corporate partners like Microsoft, Oracle, Hewlett Packard, Sun Microsystems and Meta Group, donate equipment, software, and services.

• conducted almost 50 partnership projects, which produced outcomes that have helped state, local, and federal government agencies improve services and operations;
• collaborated with nearly 100 government agencies, 42 private companies, and 14 academic institutions and research organizations;
• issued over 100 guides, reports, and online resources designed to support the work of government professionals, and over 300 scholarly articles that have contributed to the field of research on IT innovation in government organizations;
