ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: February 17, 2009 Action Agenda a Item No. -d SUBJECT: Information Technology Strategic Plan DEPARTMENT: Information Technologies PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: Strategic Technology Plan Todd Jones, 245-2285 List of Critical Technology Projects PURPOSE: To seek Board approval of the Strategic Technology Plan as developed by County staff and the Information Technologies Advisory Committee. BACKGROUND: The establishment of the Information Technologies Advisory Committee in 1997 served as an extension of the Board of County Commissioners to provide strategic oversight of technology initiatives in the County. One of the primary mechanisms for articulating this strategic oversight is the Strategic Technology Plan. This document is reviewed and revised at least every two years. With the rapid pace of technology evolution, the Strategic Plan seeks to define only broad technology goals projecting 5 years into the future. The current release of this document focuses on enterprise technology, while future releases will include more detailed strategic goals at the individual departmental level. The accompanying project spreadsheet seeks to list some of the more critical projects for the next 3 to 4 years. It lists major capital projects, projects of Board interest and essential recurring projects. The Board may find this project listing helpful in preparing the 2009-2010 Capital budget. FINANCIAL IMPACT: While the strategic goals will require capital to implement and ongoing operating monies to sustain, there is no financial impact with the Board's receiving and approving this report. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board review and approve the Strategic Technology Plan.
