Management Services Division

The Management Services Division provides internal support to all agency divisions, bureaus, and programs. Services provided by the Management Services Division include accounting and fiscal, budgeting and information systems, contracting and purchasing, human resources, payroll, and training.

Virtually every division, bureau, and program in the agency uses the Division's services. Division staff work closely with a host of other governmental agencies, both executive and legislative, in effect acting as the administrative contact points for the agency. The "central services" aspect of the Division greatly reduces the overlap and the redundancy found in decentralized business environments. These aspects enhance the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the agency by standardizing business processes and employing best business practices in as many areas of the agency as possible, while keeping the costs to supported programs as low as possible.

Management Services and the Director's Office analyze, with program managers, the statutory, administrative, and programmatic objectives of their programs in order to develop performance measures which maximize the benefits of the services provided to the citizens of Montana while minimizing the resources required to achieve those objectives.
