THE REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF YORK

Information Technology Strategy & 5 Year Plan

2005

Letter of Transmittal

TO:

SANDRA CARTWRIGHT AND THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT GROUP

I am pleased to submit the Report on the Regional Municipality of York Information Technology Strategy and 5 Year Plan which was developed through an extensive consultation process with CTRC and other staff. In addition, the participation of members from the eGovernment Sub-Committee added significant value to this collaborative effort and resulted in a “made in York Region” information technology strategy. The CTRC members and the staff conveyed a willingness to embrace change and a strong recognition of the importance of technology to Region services. We carefully considered the wisdom, thoughtful reflections, and wealth of ideas contributed by Information Technology Services staff, the workshops facilitator and the many external resources. We believe that Senior Management of York Region is absolutely committed to delivering value to our residents, businesses and visitors to the Region, by optimizing existing technology, by integrating business processes and information technology solutions across departments, and by exploring new directions for information technology. The spirit of collaboration resulted in this visionary document that I believe is both achievable and realistic. This is the first information technology strategy and 5 year plan presented formally to the SMG. We are proud that the strategy embodies the theme “Here to Serve You” reflecting the current and future aspirations of the executives, management and staff of the Region. We invite your consideration and approval of this York Region Information Technology Strategy and 5 Year Plan. Respectfully submitted

Louis Shallal P. Eng., Ph.D. Director Information Technology Services Chair, Corporate Technology Review Committee (CTRC)

    In an economy driven by technological change and advances, businesses must remain abreast of the latest innovations in order to remain competitive and access new market opportunities (Mercer, n.d.). To keep a business up-to-date, this process should be done continually but it also requires taking time before every major technology project or upgrade to plan strategy, requirements, implementation, training programs, and responses to potential risks. These steps are the building blocks of effective technological implementation plans. This paper will present an IT implementation proposal regarding the potential upgrade of the City of Augusta’s current Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software including risks and the financial impact of proceeding with or forgoing the project would have on the city’s…

    The requirements laid out in this vision actually prompted the development of four programs from the periods of 2003 to 2005. The first program involved implementing a CIO governance program. The second program, provided “organizational and people capabilities” (Haggerty, 2003) and specified key services that the IT group would need to be able to support to the organization. The third involved process improvements which helped to organize an annual IT strategy planning process. The fourth program involved technological direction which “laid the foundation for re-architecting the organization” (Haggerty, 2003). The areas of business intelligence and data management, application deployment, integration and messaging, standardization and simplification, and security deployment were five areas that required immediate attention. For this reason, these areas also serve as requirements for the data warehouse and business intelligence initiatives to take…
