ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: Dec 11, 2008 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. ~ - q <br />SUBJECT: Information Technolo Strategic Plan <br />DEPARTMENT: Information Technologies PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Strategic Technology Plan Todd Jones, 245-2285 <br />PURPOSE: To provide the Board with an update on the work of the Information Technologies <br />Advisory Committee, provide the Board the latest approved version of the Information <br />Technologies Strategic Plan and to receive feedback and direction the Board might wish to <br />provide in the ongoing evolution of this document. <br />BACKGROUND: The establishment of the Information Technologies Advisory Committee in <br />1997 served as an extension of the Board of County Commissioners to provide strategic <br />oversight of technology initiatives in the County. One of the primary mechanisms for articulating <br />this strategic oversight is the Information Technologies Strategic Plan document. This <br />document is reviewed and revised at least every two~years. <br />With the rapid pace of technology evolution, the Strategic Plan seeks to define only broad <br />technology goals projecting 5 years into the future. The current release of this document <br />focuses on enterprise technology, while future releases will include more detailed strategic goals <br />at the individual departmental level. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: While the strategic goals will require capital to implement and ongoing <br />operating monies to sustain, there is no financial impact with the Board's receiving of this report. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive the Information <br />Technologies Strategic Plan and provide any feedback to the County's Chief Information Officer <br />and Information Technologies Advisory Committee. <br />
