IT Strategic Plan
The Scott County Technology Assessment Report was created December 2000 and updated April 2005.
August 17, 2000, the Board of Supervisors authorized a Computer Network Study of Scott County’s computer network. Scott County is the third largest county in the State of Iowa and has been a leader in the use of technology. In fact, Scott County is to be congratulated on how well the different departments currently work together to accomplish their goals and objectives. The cohesiveness of the total organization is at a high-level when compared to most of the other governmental agencies we have encountered. As time has passed, technology has advanced and the needs of the County have changed a great deal.
There has been significant growth in the use of applications and technology that now requires a new vision and focus. It is clear that technology must be a key tool in serving, delivering and supporting Scott County’s citizens moving forward.
The goal of the assessment was to develop a vision, strategies, action items, and costs for implementing technology to meet the goals of Scott County. Specific areas of concern to be addressed include organizational structure, the technology environment, application development, networks, and Internet Access/development.
