TECHNOLOGY PLANNING:

The key to efficient & effective county government

Educational Co-Sponsor:

LBJ School of Public Affairs, University of Texas at Austin

Overview

Technology in county government is growing and the need for planning is essential, as it is an integral part of your county’s strategic planning. Without proper planning for technology growth, counties can end up losing money. Find out how technology can be an asset for your county by delivering better services to the citizens. Learn from the experts how technology planning can benefit your county and how technology assessments and planning can help your county provide more cost-effective services. Understand the benefits of using the Department of Information Resources (DIR) to negotiate contracts with IT service providers based on the combined buying power of state and local government customers, resulting in discounted pricing. Learn first-hand how Texas counties have benefited from the use of technology resources and the importance of incorporating technology into your county’s strategic development.
