State of New Jersey – Office of Information Technology

New Jersey Office of Information Technology

The facility at 200 Riverview Plaza serves as the headquarters for the New Jersey Office of Information Technology (NJOIT). As the central IT service provider for the Executive Branch of the State Government, this agency is responsible for the planning, development, and management of the state’s information and communications infrastructure. NJOIT ensures that state agencies have the secure and reliable technology tools needed to deliver services to the citizens of New Jersey efficiently. While this location primarily functions as an administrative and technical hub rather than a public service counter, it is the nerve center for the state’s digital operations.

Core Technological Functions

The Office of Information Technology manages complex systems that underpin daily government activities.

• Cybersecurity and Data Privacy: NJOIT operates the New Jersey Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell (NJCCIC), leading the state’s defense against cyber threats and ensuring the integrity of sensitive citizen data.
• Public Safety Communications: The agency oversees the Statewide Public Safety Communications Commission, managing the emergency 9-1-1 telephone network and ensuring interoperability for first responders across jurisdictions.
• Garden State Network: Management of the statewide high-speed telecommunications network that connects state, county, and local government facilities, enabling seamless data exchange and internet access.

Facility and Access

Located in the Riverview Plaza complex along the Delaware River, the building houses administrative offices, technical support staff, and data management teams. Access to the facility is strictly controlled due to the sensitive nature of the critical infrastructure managed within. Visitors usually require a pre-arranged appointment and must pass through security screening. The location is distinct from public-facing agencies like the MVC or Unemployment Offices, focusing instead on the backend infrastructure that keeps those services running.
