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)
