               Program Broad Goals


                   Provide support to all Town departments ( both municipal and academic)  through the
                   design,  deployment,  and maintenance of systems to support departmental objectives.

                   Provide systems administration by maintaining IT systems with prudent provisions for security,
                   data archiving,  and disaster recovery.

               Program Description

                   Information Technology works with the Town
                   Manager to establish IT policy,  evaluate and
                   recommend technology solutions for specific
                   departmental needs and provide administrative
                   support to network infrastructure,  systems,  and
                   staff.


               Program Trends


                   Information Technology is in a state of perpetual
                   change, and policies, strategies,  and system
                   implementation must accommodate these realities.

                   Network/ system security requires ongoing analysis and adjustments to meet emerging
                   threats.


                   Equipment must be updated to remain reliable and secure.

                   Data communication links between locations require evaluation of alternate information
                   storage and backup process to ensure optimal performance.

                   Service demands of internal and external customers continue to increase exponentially
                   each year.
