TheOklahoma Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES) is agovernment agency which manages and supports the basic functioning of thegovernment of Oklahoma. Under the leadership of the Oklahoma Secretary of Agency Accountability, OMES provides financial, property, purchasing, human resources and information technology services to all state agencies, and assists theGovernor of Oklahoma on developing theannual state budget. Originally called theOffice of State Finance, the agency was renamed to its current name in 2012.
The Office is headed by a director who is appointed by the governor with the approval of theOklahoma Senate, to serve at the pleasure of the governor. Within the office is the state's chief information officer, who is also appointed by the governor, who oversees the state's information technology systems.

The Office of Management and Enterprise Services was created in 2012 during the term of GovernorMary Fallin.
TheOffice of State Finance was created in 1947 byGovernor of OklahomaRobert S. Kerr to replace theState Budget Office.
In April 2010, GovernorBrad Henry appointed the Oklahoma's first chief information officer following legislation passed in the last session of 2009 modernizing Oklahoma's state government information technology system. Part of the CIO's responsibilities is to identify synergies possible through the reduction of duplicate systems and centralizing IT infrastructure.
The Office of State Finance was significantly reformed in 2011 when GovernorMary Fallin signed theGovernment Administrative Process Consolidation and Reorganization Reform Act of 2011. Pursuant to that Act, several agencies were consolidated into OSF, including theOklahoma Department of Central Services, theOklahoma Office of Personnel Management, the Oklahoma State Employees Benefits Council, and the Oklahoma State and Education Employees Group Insurance Board. All the powers and duties of those agencies were vested in the director of OSF and the individual agencies became subsidiary divisions of the OSF, which was renamed theOffice of Management and Enterprise Services.
