Mission Statement

The Office of Information Technology and Communications is dedicated to aligning technology efforts to support the business goals of the County. OITC will provide leadership, expertise, and resources in the development and deployment of innovative technologies to improve government efficiency and citizen access to government information and services.

The Office of Information Technology & Communications (OITC) was officially designated as an agency on February 27, 2001 to provide increased visibility to the strategic direction of the County's technology and communications plans. The agency's mission is to maintain an effective and efficient information communication system in the County.

OITC is a centralized support agency with responsibilities for diverse missions, threaded with the goal of providing excellent service. This includes the administration and management of County's data processing systems, voice & data telecommunications networks and geographic information system.

OITC monitors the facilities management contract under which the County's data processing services are provided. The agency helps to ensure economical and proper utilization of County resources by overseeing the facilities management contractor's work with County agencies and by coordinating the contractor's plans and commitments with the overall needs and objectives of County management. Additionally, OITC oversees The Cable Television Commission and Computer Services Internal Service Fund. The Cable Television Commission enforces the County's franchise with Comcast Cable Communications and Verizon. The Computer Services Internal Service Fund accounts for the agencies' use of office automation equipment and services. The Fund's costs are allocated based on agency network computer use and include depreciation, maintenance and operating costs.
