ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT

High quality, innovative, cost-effective technology for county departments and county commissioners

While it is not possible to know with certainty all of the challenges that the future will bring, one assumption seems certain; today's practices will not be adequate to meet tomorrow's needs.

We can accomplish this by providing the necessary on-going training; improve and upgrade our computer systems, both software and hardware, whenever feasible; and implement county-wide

technical standards to ensure compliance.

The Technology Services staff is committed to meeting these goals and look forward to the challenges and opportunities of the future.
