About Information Services

The Department of Information Services (DIS) delivers business services that empower, support and serve all county departments in the accomplishment of their respective missions. The department provides support for the planning, design, implementation and operation of cost-effective information technologies and methodologies.

DIS is primarily an internal service organization with minimal direct contact with the public. Behind the scenes, however, DIS builds, supports and operates the county's technological backbone, without which critical public services could not be provided.

Technology provides essential, cost-effective tools that greatly enhance government productivity and efficiency, but the technological life span of any given computer work station in business and government is only 36-48 months. The constant need to upgrade technology to meet its full potential is one of the department's greatest challenges.
