Technology Initiatives

Information Technology Initiatives are infrastructure projects that support the organization and ensure the security and safety of all City data and systems. These projects are worked primarily by the IT Operations staff and are in direct support of all Information Technology projects.

Initiatives Underway

• VOIP Replacement System – All Departments
• This initiative is a multi-staged/multi-department replacement of the current VOIP system. It is currently not funded, so alternative solutions are being investigated.
