W <br />Recommended New Positions <br />In order to support growing demand for technology -based citizen interaction and engagement, <br />and the level of technology services desired by the Board of County Commissioners, County <br />management and departments, the following positions need to be added to Orange County <br />Information Technologies: <br />Senior Systems Analysts (4) <br />Orange County IT currently has 5.7 Systems Analysts. Two of those are in the Operations <br />division, dedicated to network and server maintenance and support. One of those is a <br />dedicated Security Analyst and Database administrator. Another is a web developer. That <br />leaves 1.7 to act as Project Manager /Business Analyst to interface with departments. In order <br />to provide the level of direct technology engagement expected by departments, 4 additional Sr. <br />Systems Analyst positions should be added to Orange County Information Technologies' <br />Applications division. <br />Applications Division Manager <br />With the expansion of the Applications division from 3.7 FTEs to 7.7, and the concomitant <br />increase in Business Relationship Management, the Applications division needs dedicated <br />division management. This Manager will coordinate development projects, ensure consistency <br />in business engagement and provide oversight for project management adherence. <br />Network Engineer <br />The Operations division currently has one Network Analyst, who also is responsible for <br />overseeing the data backup systems. Given the geographic distribution of County facilities and <br />the resulting complexity of the County's data network, additional dedicated engineering <br />resources are needed. A Network Engineer would provide pro- active planning and <br />implementation services for the County network, not just reactive break -fix services currently <br />provided by the Network Analyst. <br />Addressing Coordinator <br />With the implementation of the County's addressing ordinance, the GIS organization is strained <br />to handle detection, enforcement and tracking of the many addressing violations that will result <br />from the ordinance going into effect in January of 2013. GIS consolidation, phase I has brought <br />many benefits, but these gains may be significantly eroded if GIS must redirect resources to <br />cover address assignment and enforcement. <br />
