Orange County Information Technologies Strategic Plan 16 <br /> 5. nearby parks <br /> 6. nearby public transportation <br /> Subscription Services <br /> Rather than rely solely on the public coming to our <br /> website for information, Orange County IT wants to <br /> look at mechanisms for targeting audiences and <br /> pushing information out as a service. Specifically, <br /> members of the public may wish to have the County <br /> contact them with new developments in their areas of <br /> interest, through a self-enrolling subscription service. <br /> For example, realtors could subscribe to updates on <br /> zoning and land use planning; contractors could <br /> subscribe to updates on inspection information; <br /> physicians could subscribe to information on breaking <br /> health department issues. <br /> Orange County IT recommends developing <br /> subscription service technologies to enhance citizen <br /> services. To control costs of producing content, <br /> ongoing web content updates could be categorized <br /> and delivered to the public via email. <br /> INFRASTRUCTURE APPLICATIONS <br /> There are important upgrades that must be made to Orange <br /> County's technical infrastructure in order to ensure customer <br /> needs are consistently met. <br /> Network Modernization Project <br /> The high speed fiber that interconnects all of the major <br /> downtown Hillsborough facilities, as outlined in the <br /> section titled "Network" on page 7, Network, has enabled <br /> significant efficiencies of operation and flexibility in <br /> serving the public. The benefits accrued by these <br /> initiatives include: <br /> • Ability to serve public needs from a variety of locations, <br /> each interconnected to a common database through <br /> high-speed fiber networking <br /> Page 15 of 25 2/9/2009 <br />
