The Department of Administrative Services (DAS) was established on July 1, 2003, by consoli-
dating the Department of General Services, the Iowa Department of Personnel, the Information
Technology Department, and the accounting function from the Department of Revenue and Fi-
nance. The functions of the previous state departments have been merged into four enterprises:
General Services Enterprise, Information Technology Enterprise, Human Resources Enterprise,
and the State Accounting Enterprise.
The DAS mission is to implement a world-class, customer-focused organization that provides a
complement of valued products and services to our customers.
Today, employees in the four DAS enterprises share a common priority — to improve services
to DAS customers. DAS customers are the state agencies that provide products and services di-
rectly to the citizens of Iowa.
The DAS represents a fundamental change in the way the internal agencies of state government
conduct business. In the past, a state government agency selling services to other internal agencies
operated like an unregulated monopoly in many ways. By design, the seller had little incentive to
meet the customer’s needs. The customer had little choice of vendors and little input into what the
seller offers. Both seller and customer agencies had limited information about their costs of doing
business.
Under the new entrepreneurial management structure, DAS enterprises (service providers)
focus on meeting the needs of the customer in a competitive marketplace. Customer agencies
have ongoing input on cost, quality, and quantity of what they buy. Customers and DAS enter-
prises are both more accountable for good management decisions.
In the Iowa state government context, entrepreneurial management is a customer-focused ap-
proach to delivering services in a competitive marketplace, where business decisions are moti-
vated by the desire to meet customer needs and by rewards or consequences for financial perform-
ance. DAS services are divided into three categories: utility, leadership, and marketplace. Utility
services are DAS products and services that executive branch agencies are required to purchase
from DAS, based on the need to increase enterprise efficiency and maximize economies of scale.
Leadership services are areas of responsibility related to management, oversight, and policy set-
ting for DAS products and services. DAS receives a general fund appropriation for leadership
services. Marketplace products and services are those products and services that agencies may
purchase from DAS or from any other marketplace supplier or private vendor.
A customer council has been established to provide formal input into the operation and man-
agement of DAS utility services. The General Assembly’s oversight role is to evaluate planning
goals and financial results, leaving enterprise managers free to listen to customers and make busi-
ness decisions that best meet customers’ needs.
Historically, the complexity of budgeting, appropriations, and other financing makes account-
ability difficult. Internal agency budgets do not always show the costs of the services agencies
receive from other state government agencies. This expense is often not used in budgeting, and
may not even be known.
The new approach — entrepreneurial management — gives internal customers more control
over where they buy and what they buy. DAS enterprises have to attract and retain customers in
order to be successful. With the new structure, customers have a simpler budgeting and appropria-
tion process and also have a voice in setting prices and the flexibility to shop for the best value for
their money.
