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.
