ISS managers and staff are engaged in an extensive planning process to assist in aligning and leading the County's IT direction. The strategic planning process recognizes that County government includes both centralized (ISS) and decentralized aspects of IT management. The finished plan will chart the course of the ISS Department over the next several years and will serve to emphasize and prioritize the important initiatives that will be addressed during this period.

- Maximize use of web technology to deliver public information and on-line services.
