Information Technology Strategic Plan 2019-2021
Department:Information Technology Department
Presenter:Ms. Tameka Allen, Director
Caption:Present the Information Technology Department Strategic Plan.
Background:The Information Technology Strategic Plan was produced
through a collaborative strategic planning process within the
Information Technology (IT) Department. This plan is based on
extensive input from city staff, research on industry best
practices, and many discussions with IT senior management. It
identifies the organization’s current technology needs and, to
every extent possible, anticipates future needs. The plan is based
on the premise that the city must provide proven, leading-edge
technology tools that will enhance service quality, efficiency and
quality of life.
Analysis:The Strategic Plan lays out the IT Department’s mission, vision,
goals, and strategic initiatives. This is a living document that
will be updated regularly to address the city’s changing
technology needs. This strategic plan is not meant to be a list of
every project Information Technology will undertake over the
next three years. Rather, it is a road map that articulates the
strategies IT will use to anticipate and meet the organization’s
emerging technology needs. The plan specifies ways to
implement exciting developments in technology that will
improve efficiency, effectiveness, responsiveness, transparency
and accountability throughout our organization.
