TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENT

PROGRAM MISSION: The Technology Investment cost center consolidates technology development funds that support the County's technology infrastructure (network, telecommunications systems, PCs, enterprise server) and the enterprise and individual business applications of the County. Investments for acquisition, major upgrade, or replacement may be made on either a cash basis or financed by debt through a third party, and the cost of either method of payment is included in this activity.

SIGNIFICANT BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS:

  • $348,230 of debt services funds were reallocated to the Network Management unit to fund an increase to base funding for I-Net maintenance ($119,318), maintenance of the Network Operations Center ($223,732) and a $5,180 increase for the Desktop Support and Call Center unit.


FUTURE BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS:

  • Enhancements to the underlying infrastructure are needed on a continuous basis and new hardware and software products must be evaluated. This includes support for the I-Net, wireless and other mobile technologies, and electronic government.
  • Rapidly changing technology requires periodic reassessment of systems. Major areas for out-year investments include human services, libraries, revenue assessment and collection, and public safety.
