Skelly - RFP for IT Strategic Plan Update - 02-17-2022BOARD AGENDA ITEM
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Chris Skelly, Information Technology Manager
MEETING DATE: February 17, 2022
ITEM – PROJECT NAME: Information Technology Strategic Plan Update
REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: Authorize staff to publish a request for proposal for
professional services to develop an updated Information Technology Strategic Plan.
DISCUSSION: The District’s current Information Technology (IT) Strategic Plan was
developed in 2014 by NextLevel Information Technology, Inc. The plan has served the
District well providing a roadmap of projects and goals for the IT Department to
achieve.
In the past, the IT Department has strived for a five-year refresh cycle to update the IT
strategic plan. However, with staff turnover and other emergencies, this project has
been delayed. Updating the strategic plan will leave the District with a comprehensive,
objective look at the District’s IT infrastructure, staffing, processes, and governance. The
plan will outline room for improvement, set goals, propose projects, and document any
other recommendations. These plans ensure that the District continues to maximize its
technology investment now and effectively plan for the future.
