The city is moving forward with its Information and Communication Technology Plan, a five-year document outlining 152 new tech projects that could cost $386 million and align with the city’s three strategic goals.
The projects are supported by the city’s Committee on Information Technology (COIT), which will meet on Friday to discuss general funds related to major IT projects.
COIT meets regularly to develop strategies, guide the investments and create policy supporting technology practices.
Some of the projects being discussed this week will affect the offices of the Assessor-Recorder, Treasurer Tax Collector, Controller, Department of Emergency Management and Department of Human Resources.
The Office of the Controller is looking to replace its Enterprise Resource Planning and Human Resources Software systems. So far the contract value is estimated at $1.6 million.
The Department of Emergency Management is looking into replacing hardware such as routers, switches and servers.
The city is also looking into digitizing files and document management, especially within the Department of Adult Probation.
The Department of Building Inspection plans to increase its use of business intelligence and data analytics.
While some of these projects are still in development and have not yet been approved, here is a list of projects that have been recommended for approval.
