COUNCIL BUDGET
STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY
TO: City Council Members
FROM: Lehua Weaver
Budget & Policy Analyst
DATE: May 19, 2015
RE: FY 2015-16 Budget – Information Management Services (IMS) Department
Mayor’s Proposed Budget
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
The Department of Information Management Services (IMS) provides technical support for General Fund departments and Enterprise Funds in the City. IMS is operated as an Internal Service Fund, which means that its source of revenue comes from charging fees to the City departments and funds based on the services provided. The proposed 2015-16 budget reflects a year of great change for the IMS department, including organizational restructuring, reclassification of positions, and re-evaluating budgets for equipment and IT infrastructure maintenance. Part of the organizational restructuring is the creation of a Division of Innovation and Transformation (DoIT). IMS will continue to operate with 70 positions (FTEs) and a total proposed budget of $12,123,361, an increase of $1.5 million to the 2014-15 budget. POLICY QUESTIONS
1. In the past, IMS has not had all the necessary resources for all department requests they receive. As
significant as the resource limitations, its challenge has also been that it does not have the authority to
mediate competing needs or to decide citywide direction on IT matters. As such, they have tried to be all
things to all Departments, and it can spread the resources among so many projects that success is
undermined. The organizational restructuring in the proposed budget aims to overcome those
challenges. Does the proposed budget adequately address each component of budget, resources, and
authority?
2. One proposed change to the organizational structure is to identify IT employees who will serve a more
dedicated role working with each City department for end user device and software support (any
Page | 2
technical needs that come up in offices), and to serve as a liaison between individual offices and the IMS
administration.
o Is it possible that this access to IMS employees will generate additional work ideas or requests
for IT solutions?
o If so, how will that new – and potentially large – workload be coordinated, prioritized, and
funded? How will they fit in with previous requests that are back-logged?
o How will those requests be handled differently than in the past, when requests have outpaced
available IMS resources and budget?
3. The Police and Fire Department budgets include the addition of IT service positions for a total of
$140,005. Fire: Technology Services Manager: $76,000 and Police: Civilian IT Coordinator: $64,005.
o If the new IMS organizational structure provides departments with greater access to software
and end user support, are these two other positions necessary in the Police Department and Fire
Department budgets?
o If it is necessary for Police and Fire to have additional IT support, should the positions be added
to IMS with the purpose of providing a higher level of service to those departments, but report
to the IMS director, in keeping with the proposed centralized model?
4. Will the creation of the new Innovation & Transformation Team Manager affect previous IMS practices
with the IT Strategic Master Plan and other citywide IT visioning efforts?
5. The Administration has indicated that over the coming months, more work will be done to evaluate
technology needs and upgrades for the City. The Council may wish to share any hopes or requests for
consideration during that process. (Refer to the Additional Information section below for a list of
possible unfunded IT needs.)
6. Funding proposed in Budget Amendment #4 – The Council may wish to pull out the IMS Department-
related funding requests (listed below) from Budget Amendment #4 to weigh them against the other
needs in the overall FY 2016 budget. If the Council determines that the items should be funded as a part
of the annual budget, they could be funded from general fund balance (the same source proposed in the
budget amendment).
o Laptops for new recruits: $28,500 (also considered with the Police Department)
o Overall Laptop replacement: $380,000 (also considered with the Police Department)
o IMS Servers and Infrastructure: $118,100
7. Are there any specific measurements of success for the new IMS organization that the Council would like
the Administration to track for future budget discussions?
8. CRM update - The Council previously budgeted funds for the City to explore options for a Constituent
Resource Management (CRM) system. The system would serve the City as a central collection point to
track constituent contact, constituent requests & issue resolution, provide an electronic means for
submission, and expand the City’s ability to engage residents based on interests, follow up with topics,
and generate statistical information on the amount of City time to resolve issues.
Some of the funding was used toward a needs assessment and the travel of some City staff to a related
conference. The City has launched a CitySourced application for receiving complaints electronically
from the public. This achieves some but not all of the functionality that was desired with a CRM system,
such as tracking requests and generating work orders. The CitySourced app could also begin to shift
citywide staff habits for handling of complaints into a centralized system.
Page | 3
The need for reorganization of IMS and the sheer volume of pending projects has precluded the program
from moving forward, but it is still considered an important project by the Council, staff, and IMS. The
City would still significantly benefit from a full CRM system that would allow data-based decision
making, enhance transparency, reduce staff duplication in processing complaints and add to
accountability. Would the Council prefer to carryover the funds and keep them available for the CRM
system or when the City is poised to implement? If the Council is interested in carrying-over the funds
and keeping them for a CRM system, staff would add that to Budget Amendment No. 1 of fiscal year
2015-16. If the funds are not carried-over they will lapse to fund balance and is likely that the
Administration will assume that the Council no longer holds this project as a priority.
ADDITIONAL & BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Other Proposed budget changes
1. IMS continues to support the Library and Housing Authority of Salt Lake City. Both entities are
billed for services rendered, and the revenue covers the cost of providing services.
2. Organizational Changes
a. Two parts:
i. Traditional IT Services – includes communications and messaging, network
services, software development, software support, and end user support
Citywide- or Enterprise-wide central services are software engineering and
network services
Customer-focused services will be provided onsite by location or office –
end user support and software support.
ii. Innovation & New Technology (new Division)
Address challenges facing the City
Total budget $181,100, includes $50,000 toward third party services and or
hardware and software purchases, and one staff position.
Form project teams using IMS staff, other City staff and stakeholders, and
outside consultants as necessary.
b. Most City departments and offices have the most interaction with former “business
analysts” and “project managers.” These positions have been shifted to end user support
and software support.
i. Offices will be asked to make space for IMS staff assigned for end user and software
support.
ii. The hope is that IMS will become more integrated in office functions and
understand IT needs.
3. Other expense changes:
a. IMS is switching to Office 365 for the City’s office program needs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint,
etc.). This requires an annual subscription for the service for each employee, but allows
greater flexibility when multiple devices are used. There is also an option for cloud storage
of documents, but IMS will continue to utilize server storage.
b. Software support for Accela is increasing by $289,024 for more modules to be supported.
c. As a new accounting rule, internal service funds, such as IMS, are now required to account
for employee retirement liabilities (amounts payable to employees upon retirement from
the City).
d. IMS is budgeting for the next phase of their asset management and work order system,
which includes development of a resource library.
4. Unfunded needs
Page | 4
a. The Administration has indicated that more work will be done in the coming months to
address the funding needs for known IT services or systems citywide and/or department
specific.
b. A draft list of projects or needs include:
i. Server / infrastructure upgrades
ii. Software purchases
iii. Hardware purchases
iv. PC rental program funding
v. Department technical services
vi. GRAMA related services
Records retention
Archive searches
vii. Constituent Resource Management (CRM)
viii. Agenda management system - roll out to all City Boards & Commissions
ix. Sharepoint upgrades and development of intranet sites
x. SLC-TV equipment upgrades
The proposed budget includes some funding for new workstations and
software to support the ever-increasing demand for filming and support
Additional upgrades may still be needed

Strategic Master Plan Effective January 2015
Revised: January 2015 Page 2
Overview: Salt Lake City Corporation’s mission is “To make Salt Lake City the best place to live, work, play, visit, and do business." Technology supports this mission by enabling City departments to effectively and efficiently provide services to the public. This master plan was recommended by the City’s IT Steering Committee, as required by City Policy 4.01.04. See Appendix A. It was approved and signed by the Mayor in January 2013. Well planned technology and digital infrastructure projects enhance economic development. Neighborhoods, groups, and individuals are better served through well designed, user friendly websites providing “around the clock” access to government information and services. Public safety is improved by getting needed information to police officers and firefighters in the field. Lives and property are saved/protected when these public servants are able to get the information needed in a convenient, efficient manner. Geographic Information Systems makes it easy for City staff to locate features of the City’s infrastructure and helps residents and visitors find the City’s attractions as well as where to go for services. This Information Technology Strategic Master Plan creates the framework that will help ensure individual departments, and the City as a whole, address the following information technology planning objectives:
Ensure hardware and software compatibility with other City systems;
Reduce duplicate systems;
Ensure the security of the City’s networks; and
Promote efficiency and effectiveness in management of our systems and data.
This is a working document and will be updated as requirements change and technology evolves. As the budget process is completed and priorities are set by the Administration and Council, this document will be amended to reflect the final priorities.

Strategic Goals
IMS Technology Strategy To enable City departments to efficiently fulfill their mission through the appropriate use of technology, IMS will provide the infrastructure, products, and services that will facilitate delivery of services, open communication and community engagement, and transparency of City operations.
State of Information Technology in 2014
Project Management 2+ yrs backlog
Help Desk Ticket Resolution 60% resolved in less than 24 hrs
Equipment Replacement 25% or less replaced within 90 days of expiration
Systems/Infrastructure Less than 10% of servers/storage in the cloud Internet capacity averaging 30% capacity
IT Spend per Employee 53% of Industry Average
Data Center Power Usage Less than 1% increase since 2008
Strategy and Actions
State of Information Technology in 2017
Project Management12 month backlog
Help Desk Ticket Resolution 50% resolved by through self service portal. 75% of remaining resolved in less than 24 hrs
Equipment Replacement 90% replaced within 90 days of expiration
Server/Infrastructure60% of servers/storage in the cloud Internet capacity averaging 30% capacity
IT Spend per Employee85% of Industry Average
Data Center Power Usage20% decrease over 2008
While not suitable for every project, Agile Project Management methodologies hold the promise of more frequent deliverables, higher quality end results, and an increase in productivity. The use of Agile methodologies will help reduce and maintain the estimated backlog time to 6 to 12 months. Funding for training and tools may be required.
Implement an employee self service portal that will allow employees to solve common PC related problems without calling the IMS Help Desk utilizing a searchable, indexed knowledge base. This will result is a comparable level of service but allowing IMS to recognize cost savings of $10,000 annually.
Standardization of the desktop configuration and implementation of technology that will simplify the process of deploying systems will pave the way for a streamlined hardware replacement cycle. The further rollout of Virtual Desktop technology will also greatly reduce the time needed to replace PCs and notebooks. Funding and training will be needed to continue VDI deployment but will result in a more efficient process.
As servers reach end of life, move to cloud based computing wherever possible. Work with available service providers to increase the City’s communications bandwidth to ensure the available capacity is adequate for the City’s needs.
Work with the Administration to ensure appropriate levels of funding are available based on industry averages provided by industry analysts such as Gartner.
Through the replacement of less efficient systems and migration of servers to the cloud, reduce the power consumption in the data centers by 20%

Strategic Master Plan Effective January 2015

Strategic Roadmap
1. General.
The guiding principles and strategies used by IMS are in direct support of the goals and
mission of the City’s departments and ensure the City’s technology infrastructure is
positioned to properly support their needs.
Be they things such as Digital Inclusion, Transparency, Civic Engagement, Transportation,
or any other product or service needed to better serve the City, IMS must ensure that the
tools and technology are in place and ready to support the endeavor. IMS’s role is that of
a technology provider, advisor and integrator. IMS’s primary responsibility is to ensure
the technology is in place to support the products or services are needed by the
department and to integrate those technologies to the fullest extent possible.
2. Mayors Livability Agenda.
Mayor Becker’s Livability Agenda plays a key role in the products and services provided by
IMS. This plan will address multiple technologies, services, policies, and procedures. Each
will be directly tied to one or more of the Mayor’s agenda. The Livability Agenda items
are:
a. A Resilient Economy
b. Salt Lake City In Motion
c. A Wise Energy Future and Quality Environment
d. Innovation and Celebration of Salt Lake City Education e. A Commitment to Equality and Opportunity f. Enhancing the Artistic and Cultural Life
Generally speaking, IMS’s role is to ensure City computing resources are in such a state that any project undertaken by the Administration or City Council can be supported in an expedient, secure manner and to have the technology and knowledge at the ready when a request comes our way.
3. Governance.
IMS receives its direction from our business partners in the departments. There are 5
ways a project or initiative comes to IMS.
o Directives from the Mayor’s Office.
o Legislative Intents from the City Council
o System Steering Committee
o Departmental Directives and Initiatives.
o Internal Infrastructure Needs.
IMS follows standard practices and procedures set forward by the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL). ITIL is a set of internationally recognized best practices for service management. Multiple staff members hold ITIL certifications. These standards are incorporated in and enforced by IMS’s work order tracking system.
Salt Lake City Corporation Information Technology
Strategic Master Plan Effective January 2015
Revised: January 2015 Page 6
IMS also follows best practices in project management as defined in the Project Management Book of Knowledge (PMBOK) from the Project Management Institute (PMI). IMS uses both traditional waterfall project management as well as Agile Project Management techniques. Multiple staff members hold certifications in Project Management from The Project Management Institute (PMI).
4. Current Status.
Due to the 2008 economic downturn, replacement life cycles of all City computing
resources were extended and numerous upgrades/enhancements have been delayed.
Hardware replacement schedules for desktops and notebooks were extended by 1 year
while servers and switches were extended 2 years and more. As a result, the City’s digital
infrastructure is aging and is in need of attention.
IMS has responsibility for the maintenance and support costs for many of the software
applications used in the City and numerous applications have been added to the portfolio
managed by IMS. Traditionally, the cost for the hardware and software necessary for
these newly added systems is borne by the requesting department for the first year. It is
then up to IMS to fund the cost of replacement hardware and in many cases, the ongoing
cost of maintenance and support. This too has impacted the departments overall funding
situation.
The City generally purchases maintenance and support agreements for software. The
software assets of the City are current or near current in terms of the version being run in
the City. A notable exception is the desktop productivity suite including the City’s email
systems. Currently, the City is running Office 2007 which is 2 versions back from the
current Office365. Office 2007 is no longer supported by Microsoft.
The email servers are more than 5 years old and certain components are no longer
supported by the manufacturer.
More than 80% of IMS’s expenses are fixed costs from either personnel costs or charges
for services such as telecomm circuits or hardware/software maintenance and support
from third party providers.
In 2012, the City assumed responsibility for IT Services for the City Library System and, in
2014, for the Housing Authority of Salt Lake.
5. Technology Goals.
a. Network and Infrastructure.
IMS will need to expend considerable effort in terms of enabling the
infrastructure to efficiently and securely migrate to the cloud for servers,
storage, and applications.
Multiple applications and servers are already hosted externally to the
City.
Salt Lake City Corporation Information Technology
Strategic Master Plan Effective January 2015
Revised: January 2015 Page 7
Over the next 3 years, IMS will move hardware and software to the cloud
as is appropriate. This will provide redundancy, higher availability in the
event of a disaster, and greater access for mobile devices. Certain
systems will of necessity remain in City data centers.
b. Software.
The City operates as a best of breed organization. Department are
encouraged to find the best solution for the specific business problem to
be solved.
IMS’s strategy in relation to business application software is to purchase
applications that are commercially available, referred to as Commercial
off the Shelf (CotS) applications and develop custom software only in
cases where no third party software that meets the business need can be
found.
Many software vendors now offer their products on a subscription basis.
Software as a Service, (SaaS), will become more commonplace as we
update and replace City IT applications.
Over the next 3 years, IMS will ensure that the network architecture will
support hosted applications in an efficient and secure manner. The
decision to implement SaaS applications will be driven by the department
responsible for the system.
c. Communications Media.
Internet and Intranet Services
o Over the next 3 years, IMS will work to migrate web servers and
service to the cloud where appropriate.
o Using Content Management Systems (CMS), IMS will work to
update the look and feel of the website and provide the
technology and support to manage and maintain the sites.
Social Media.
o City policy places the responsibility for capturing and archiving
interactions on social media that might be considered
governmental records on the person posting those interactions.
o Over the next 3 years, IMS’s will work with the City Recorder’s
Office for tools and technology to automate this process. .
SLCTV.
o Over the next 3 years IMS will be updating and replacing
equipment to ensure a reliable broadcast platform and a
transition to High Definition.
Open Data and Civic Engagement.
o IMS’s strategy around Open Data and Civic Engagement is to
ensure the City’s computing environment can easily and properly
support any of these technologies in any of their forms.
Salt Lake City Corporation Information Technology
Strategic Master Plan Effective January 2015
Revised: January 2015 Page 8
o IMS’s role is that of an enabler, looking to provide the technology
and services needed to support these tools in an efficient and
secure manner.
d. Project Management
The support of Project Management as a discipline allows the IMS department to plan out a successful project, ensures that projects are delivered on time, and have the results that were expected by the Business Partner.
Portfolio Management.
o Identifying which projects and programs should be undertaken,
and controlling of this list of priorities to ensure that it still fits
the City and its department’s strategic needs.
o At the beginning of the year plan out the project priority of the
projects and programs that IMS will undertake resulting in the
IMS Master Plan and Budget for both Fixed Costs and Variable
Costs.
o On a quarterly basis review the current portfolio of projects and
make any adjustments as necessary to the priority of the projects
and programs.
o Starting dates of projects and programs will be determined by
the availability of the resources necessary to complete the
project.
Program Management.
o Determine the City’s, and IMSs’ strategic vision through
prioritizing programs.
o The grouping together of projects aligned under one system for
easier management of resources and the coordination of releases
to the City.
o The System Steering Committee will as part of the portfolio
review, re‐evaluate the prioritization of the projects within a
program as well as the program itself.
Project Management. The Systems Steering Committee will determine
which projects will be undertaken by IMS.
o Review Business Cases or Project Proposals and determine which
projects should be funded or further researched for the inclusion
in the Portfolio.
o Determine which projects should be deferred for a higher priority
project.
o Determine which projects should no longer be funded due to the
project not fitting the vision of the City or one of its departments.

Completed Projects and Goals for 2014: For informational purposes, 73 projects of varying complexity were completed by IMS in 2014. The following provides general information regarding some of the more significant efforts. a) Credit Card Surcharge Objective: Efficiency and Effectiveness
A surcharge on all credit card transactions was mandated by the City Council. This process
was completed for all system where implementation was possible.
b) Police Crime Stats Website: Objective: Open Government/Transparency
A system was completed that displays all key police crime statistics for the previous 5
years.
c) Public Utilities Website Objective: Efficiency and Effectiveness
The Public Utilities website used by constituents to access and manage their accounts
with the Public Utilities department was completely rewritten to include new
functionality and stronger security of customer information.
d) Automated Citation Tracking (Phase 1). Objective: Efficiency and Effectiveness
The first phase of the ACT system was delivered and is currently in production. The ACT
system tracks civil citations through the process and Additional phases are underway.
e) Accela Civic Data Objective: Open Government/Transparency
The Accela Civic Data tool is a platform for posting transactional data sets from City
databases. This is one of 2 platforms supported by the City. The other platform is hosted
at the State of Utah as part of their open government/ transparency initiative. Both are
updated automatically and contain identical data sets. There are currently 20 data sets
published.
f) Accela Walk‐In Kiosk Objective: Efficiency and Effectiveness
The Accela Walk‐in Kiosk enables constituents the ability to check‐in in the Building
Services department for a variety of functions streamlining the process by allowing the
constituent to enter information about what they need from the City and managing the
wait queue.
g) Accela Upgrades Objective: Efficiency and Effectiveness
Hardware and software upgrades were performed on the Accela systems. This included
new server hardware and numerous software updates and patches.
h) CIP Planner/OneSolution Integration Objective: Efficiency and Effectiveness
Salt Lake City Corporation Information Technology
Strategic Master Plan Effective January 2015
Revised: January 2015 Page 10
Working with Airport IT staff and the vendor implementation team, the CIP Planner
application has been integrated with the OneSolution system to provide the ability to pay
invoices and track the financial status of the Airport’s Terminal Replacement Program.
i) Tree Inventory Objective: Efficiency and Effectiveness
The Tree Inventory application was reworked to accommodate newly acquired highly
accurate GIS information on the City’s urban forest. The first phase of the project was to
update the application to accommodate the new data and to perform data integrity work
to ensure the information is clean and accurate. This is the first phase of a multiphase
project.
j) Library Systems Upgrades Objective: Efficiency and Effectiveness
Numerous Library projects were completed included the material handling system,
circulation management system, collection management systems, facilities maintenance
systems, and financial/payroll systems. Systems for managing the public PCs were
upgraded as was the internal network infrastructure.
Additionally, IMS developed an interface that enables all SLC Schools student access to
the City Library resources by importing information from the school district into the
Library circulation system.
k) Citywide Cognos Implementation Objective: Efficiency and Effectiveness
Cognos is a Business Intelligence system used for reporting and analytical work. The
system has now been deployed for use in multiple areas and incorporating multiple
systems.
l) VDI Implementation at PSB Objective: Efficiency and Effectiveness
The City’s Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) has been implemented in the new Public
Safety Building. This project includes the hardware and software needed to support the
desktop thin clients as well as mobile devices for remote access to the City’s computing
environment. Additional desktop clients are being configured and deployed throughout
the building as PCs come up for replacement. Currently there are more than 150 stations
converted to VDI.
m) ESO Mobile Upgrade Objective: Efficiency and Effectiveness
The ESO system is used by medical first responders to record patient information. The
system was updated to allow more efficient use of mobile devices by EMT and other
medical first responders.
n) Mapping of State Chart of Accounts Objective: Efficiency and Effectiveness

undertaken and completed.
Salt Lake City Corporation Information Technology
Strategic Master Plan Effective January 2015
Revised: January 2015 Page 11
o) Upgrade of OneSolution Hardware Objective: Efficiency and Effectiveness
Upgrades were implemented to keep the OneSolution system current as well as to
implement new server hardware.
p) WebEOC Upgrade Objective: Efficiency and Effectiveness
Upgrades were performed to the WebEOC application used by Emergency Management
staff. This software is a shared implementation with Salt Lake County and the State.
q) Public Safety Microwave Loop Objective: Efficiency and Effectiveness
Using Motorola Canopy equipment a redundant microwave communications loop has
been implemented between the City’s Public Safety Building and Valley Emergency
Communications Center (VECC) and the County Emergency Operation Center ensuring
access to communication and computing resources should ground communications be
compromised.
r) Public Utilities SCADA Security Objective: Efficiency and Effectiveness
At the request of the Public Utilities department, a security audit was performed on the
SCADA System used in the water reclamation plant. No significant issues were identified
and all recommendations have been implemented.
Citywide Objectives: The City’s Business plan states four citywide objectives: Customer Service, Financial Health, Efficiency and Effectiveness, and Workforce Quality. The initiatives listed in this section are in support on one or more of those objectives. These objectives are not listed here in order of priority.
a) Upgrade of Office Productivity Objective: Efficiency and Effectiveness.
The City has been using the Microsoft Office suite for many years. Currently we are using Microsoft Office 2007 as the standard version. Since its release two new versions have been released, Office 2010 and Office 2013. Office2007 is no longer supported by Microsoft. The City has 3 options at this point. The first is to do nothing and continue to run the outdated and unsupported software. The second is to purchase Office2013 and install local copies as in the past. The third option is move to Office365 in the cloud. Each option has its pros and cons.
b) Upgrade of email Systems. Objective: Efficiency and Effectiveness The City’s current Email system is Microsoft Exchange 2007. The hardware and software were implemented in 2008, and we have just entered the year 2015. As a rule, it is recommended to replace server hardware every 3 to 4 years. Our current hardware is nearing 7 years old. Although Microsoft will continue to support Exchange 2007 for a few more years, it is now considered a “legacy” piece of software and is now 2 versions behind the current version of Exchange (Exchange 2013).
Salt Lake City Corporation Information Technology
Strategic Master Plan Effective January 2015
Revised: January 2015 Page 12
The server hardware that currently runs Exchange can no longer be upgraded or expanded. It has reached the extent of its usefulness and we are quickly running out of available resources. If we do not replace our current server hardware in the next 12 months, we will be faced with the very real probability that our mail system will run out of disk space and stop functioning all together.
c) Mobile Device Management Objective: Efficiency and Effectiveness Objective: Data Security
At present, we have only basic capabilities when it comes to device security. We can provide access to our network from just about any device, but we can do little to tell if that device has been compromised by malware or if it is being used to access confidential information. We are a City at risk when it comes to mobile device management and it is important that we recognize the importance of funding to this end.
d) Hosting of SLCGOV Objective: Efficiency and Effectiveness Keeping the SLCGOV website current both in terms of content and in terms of look and feel has been a challenge. Departmental webmasters have done a reasonable job in creating the content and keeping it relevant but often call on IMS with formatting questions all the way down to helping them with forgotten password. IMS has addressed these challenges well but at a significant impact to other projects. Additionally, the way the site was designed and delivered makes it difficult for IMS to effect changes to the basic design of the site. PPBH also has challenges with this maintenance as the PHP programmer responsible for the site has left PPBH. The result has been that the Mayor’s Communications staff has some changes they would like to see incorporated into the site that will be difficult and expensive to implement.
e) Generic Credit Card Processing Objective: Efficiency and Effectiveness
The Systems steering committee has recommended IMS develop a system that will enable departments to accept credit card payments via the web without the need for custom development. Essentially, they need to be able to post a link to the card processing page and based on parameters entered into the system with records to cost centers and object codes, accept credit card payments without the need to have IMS develop a custom page.
Current Projects: Below is an inventory and review of the current active projects. Each current project’s status and progress toward meeting the stated objectives will be review by the Systems Steering Committee.
a) Asset Tracking/Work Orders Objective: Efficiency and Effectiveness
Public Services Department is in desperate need of a Work Management system that will allow its division programs to provide a higher level of customer service and to become highly effective and efficient in its operations, saving cost of operations over time. A new work management system will allow most of PS divisions to perform work processes in one common work order/ work management system. This system will provide the needed functionality to move the department programs from antiquated data bases, paper work orders and tracking logs to digital/web‐based service requests,
Salt Lake City Corporation Information Technology
Strategic Master Plan Effective January 2015
Revised: January 2015 Page 13
work orders, asset tracking, costs, asset life cycle management, and project management. This newly selected system will be designed to interface with other key City systems such as, PUBS, and ONE Solution (IFAS) to provide needed seamless exchange of key information greatly improving department to department information exchange and coordination. Expected completion of the first phase of this project is July, 2015
b) 2 Factor Authentication to Public Safety Systems Objective: Data Security New rules at the State and Federal level require a higher level on authentication than the traditional user code and password for all public safety applications. A project to provide this is in process and is expected to be completed March, 2015.
c) Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) Tracking Objective: Efficiency and Effectiveness This application will be utilized by HR consultants and PPAs who track FMLA. It will keep a record of the amount of FMLA leave time used. Input is done by the PPA or HR consultant. It will interface with OneSolution for current employee information and will not store any medical information. However, City administrators at every level in every department are the primary end users of this data. The reports that are generated from this application will be used by departmental supervisors Citywide as HR staff advises them about personnel decisions. This project is currently underway and is expected to be completed March, 2015.
d) Document Management/Records Management Sponsor: Steering Committee SharePoint is the City’s official platform for document management. Several departments including IMS and Public Utilities are working to migrate existing document repositories to SharePoint. The Recorder’s Office is currently working with a vendor in this area as well. No timeframe for completion has been established at this point.
e) Automated Citation Tracking (ACT) Sponsor: Finance The first phases of this project have been delivered including citation tracking and small claims. The current effort is on the collections side and is expected to be delivered July, 2015.
f) Fiber to the Premise Sponsor: IMS Departments have indicated the need for faster communications in their work areas. The cost of providing transmission speed of up to 1 GB through leased lines is prohibitive in most locations. However, through cooperative agreements with UDOT and UTA, it may be possible to bring City owned and operated fiber connection to certain locations, specifically Airport, Street/Fleet/Parks, and the new Public Safety Building thus reducing operating costs.
g) Replacement of CAMP system Sponsor: Steering Committee The current Contracts Management system, (CAMP) does not meet the needs of the City. The Steering Committee has requested the system be rehosted into the new SharePoint portal.
h) IVR System Replacement Sponsor: Steering Committee
Salt Lake City Corporation Information Technology
Strategic Master Plan Effective January 2015
Revised: January 2015 Page 14
The current IVR system is no longer supported by Microsoft and the hardware is well past it useful life. The Steering Committee requests that we rehost this system using a cloud based provider. Work on this is on progress.
i) Loan Management Sponsor: Steering Committee The Steering Committee has recommended that the City replace the Loan management systems currently in use in CED. Preliminary work on this has begun.
j) Training Tracking Sponsor: Steering Committee
The City’s Learning Management system is not adequate to the needs for the departments or HR. The Steering Committee has requested IMS replace this system. Work in procuring a system is underway.
k) New Policy Notification Sponsor: Steering Committee The Steering Committee sees a need to improve the process whereby employees are notified of policy and procedural changes from the administration. This would be done through email alerts. This project will also be serviced by the SharePoint implementation. SharePoint should serve a key role in the delivery of this service.

packages used to manage and maintain the City’s data. The City supports Microsoft’s
SQL Server as its current supported platform. IBM’s Informix is also supported but is
being phased out.
vi) IMS is agile development process which is intended to speed up the development
process and get useable applications into the hands of the employees sooner. This
process also improves the quality of specifications, increases business partner
involvement, and provides a higher quality application.
17. Outsourcing.
IMS is a service organization and is committed to providing the products and services
needed by the City at the lowest possible cost. As part of this commitment, IMS routinely
employs outside entities to provide the products and services we are unable to provide
with existing staff. We routinely use outside vendors for wiring projects, web page design,
network and security design, third party software, custom software, and other services.
IMS regularly analyzes usage of outside services to determine when it is more cost
effective to develop a skill set or discipline internally.
18. Procurement of Software.
i) IMS supports and recommends the purchase of third party software whenever
possible. IMS policy for procurement of software provides the following process for
making the decision on purchasing a third party application or in‐house development.
ii) Determine the Fundamental Requirements. Working with the departments, IMS staff
documents the business rules and specific requirements that must be met to
successfully satisfy the business need.
iii) Research Third Party Options. Working with the departments, the IMS staff will
conduct preliminary research on third party solutions that may meet the business
need.
iv) Set Direction Based on Research Results. Based on the complexity of the business
requirements, anticipated costs, and the number of options available, IMS and the
department will proceed using one of the following options:
(1) Develop the original business rules and requirements into a formal Request for
Proposals (RFP.)
(2) Work with the Purchasing Division to purchase the selected third party software
through competitive bid or sole source Purchase Order.
(3) Develop the software internally. When no acceptable third party application is
found and at the request of the department, IMS will use the business rules and
requirements to determine the cost of development of the software and proceed
after acceptance of the requirements and funding by the department. New
development of software is billable to all departments.
19. Document Management
Salt Lake City Corporation Information Technology
Strategic Master Plan Effective January 2015
Revised: January 2015 Page 22
i) The City has selected as the standard platform for management of scanned
documents as well as documents stored as part of a record set, the SharePoint
Document Management suite of tools.
ii) Alchemy and Hummingbird are still supported and commonly used as a front end
capture tool but all new implementations are to use the Hummingbird tools.
20. Network Support.
i) IMS currently staffs the IMS Help Desk Hours from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. After Hours
Support for emergencies is provided on a call back basis from 6:00 PM to 7:00 AM.
ii) Due to public safety concerns, after hours support for Police and Fire is provided 7
days a week, 365 days a year at no additional charge.
21. Network Support Service Level Agreements. The following criteria outline the IMS
guidelines in responding to service calls placed to the IMS Help Desk (7272). This
response requires the technician to contact the affected customer (caller) by either
telephone, or in person, discuss the problem, and either begin work on the issue or in the
case of lower priorities schedule a time to begin work.
i) URGENT ‐ RESPOND WITHIN 15 MINUTES. An area's productivity is drastically
affected such as:
(i) A Server is down
(ii) Communication (Voice or Data) is down (i.e.: PBX, Communication facility
affecting an entire location, router, etc.).
(iii) Critical Software is down– Software affecting users City wide or public
safety is down (i.e. Email, IFAS, RMS)
(iv) Mission critical system is down– Hardware and/or software used in a
department or division is down preventing employees from providing
services (i.e. Business Licensing, Public Utilities Billing System, etc.)
ii) HIGH ‐ RESPOND WITHIN 1 HOUR. An area's productivity is significantly affected
hindering employees in providing services such as:
(i) A Hardware item critical to a department is down
(ii) A software application that affects more than one customer is down (i.e.
Microsoft Excel on a particular server)
(iii) A Hardware item that affects more than one customer is down (i.e.
network printer.)
iii) MEDIUM ‐ RESPOND WITHIN 8 WORKING HOURS. An area's productivity is affected
but services can still be provided such as:
(i) Application is not working correctly, affecting one customer (i.e. a report
not available or working).
(ii) Hardware affecting one customer is not working correctly (i.e. keyboard,
mouse, monitor, drive).
iv) LOW – RESPOND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
(i) Installation and/or upgrade of equipment (Hardware)
(ii) Installation and/or upgrade of software application(s)
Salt Lake City Corporation Information Technology
Strategic Master Plan Effective January 2015
Revised: January 2015 Page 23
(iii) Moving equipment ( Given that IMS is notified within a reasonable time
frame)
v) Call Escalation
(1) Incidents not meeting the above stated Service Level Agreement can be escalated
to the next priority level by the customer, Help Desk Manager, Operations
Manager, or the Department Director.
(2) Calls not related to hardware support, software support, or instances where
research may be necessary to resolve the issue can be escalated to the
appropriate party/parties by the Help Desk Technician, Help Desk Manager,
Operations Manager, or other IMS employee.
(3) Calls that go outside the range of expertise of a Help Desk Technician can be
escalated by the Help Desk Technician as deemed necessary.
22. Software Support Service Level Agreements. The following criteria outline the IMS
guidelines in responding to software problems for EXISTING systems. This response
requires the responsible software engineer or software support technician to contact the
affected customer (caller) by either telephone, or in person, discuss the problem, and
either begin work on the issue or in the case of lower priorities schedule a time to begin
work.
i) URGENT ‐ RESPOND WITHIN 15 MINUTES
(1) System down
(2) Bug fixes as identified by the user resulting in loss of specific critical functionality
as identified by the user
ii) HIGH ‐ RESPOND WITHIN 1 HOUR.
(1) Bug fixes as identified by the user resulting in loss of important functionality as
identified by the user.
iii) MEDIUM ‐ RESPOND WITHIN 8 WORKING HOURS
(1) Bug fixes as identified by the user resulting in loss of functionality as identified by
the user.
iv) LOW – RESPOND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
(1) Bug fixes as identified by the user resulting in loss of important functionality as
identified by the user.
v) MAINTENANCE – RESPOND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
(1) Requests for additional or improved functionality within a given application.
(2) Routine application of service packs and patches
23. Electronic File Storage.
i) Whenever possible, important electronic documents (such as Word documents, Excel
spreadsheets, etc.) should not be kept on local hard drives, such as the “C” drive of
your computer or portable devices. Local drives are not included in the City’s normal
back‐up procedure. Important documents should be kept on the network, usually in
Salt Lake City Corporation Information Technology
Strategic Master Plan Effective January 2015
Revised: January 2015 Page 24
the “N” drive, “I” drive, “P” drive or “L” drive. Local drives can occasionally fail
rendering the files stored on those drives irretrievable.
ii) If it is necessary to have important documents on a local “C” drive, or on a mobile
device of any kind, it is critical to have a backup copy of that document on either the
network or some other electronic media. Network drives (such as the “N”, “I”, or “P”
drives) are backed up on nightly basis. Data from these network drives can be
restored from backups by simply notifying the Help Desk with the name of the
file/folder that was lost, and where it was last located.
iii) All backed up information is initially copied to disk, and then eventually moved to
tape. While on disk the requested data is easily and quickly restored from the disk
drives. Once the data is moved to tape, the tape needs to be loaded and scanned
before any data can be retrieved. This is a relatively simple process, but does take
longer than restoring from disk.
iv) In cases where the data requested is months, or even years old, the data would then
have to be harvested from a “monthly” tape that has been moved to the Granite
Vault. This can take 24 hours or more to request the tape from the vault and have it
delivered to IMS. All “vault tapes” are kept for at least 5 years.
24. Internet Guidelines
i) The City encourages staff to use the Internet for business purposes. De minimus
personal use of the internet is allow but must not be abused. There can be no
expectation of privacy associated with usage of City computing resources. Users of
the City’s computing resources may not knowingly access websites containing
information or images prohibited by City policy.
ii) Internet Connections Require Approved Firewalls.
(1) All connections between City networks and the Internet or any other external
computer network must pass through an approved firewall and related access
controls.
25. External Access to City Computing Resources
i) All users needing access to City computing resources from outside the City’s network
must do so via the City’s virtual private network devices.
(1) Credentials allowing access via a VPN can be provided by contacting the IMS Help
Desk.
ii) Approval is required prior to connecting City computers to an external network.
(1) Staff may not establish Internet or any other external network physical
connections which could allow users to gain access to Salt Lake City Corporation
systems and information without prior approval from the Director if Information
Management Services.
(2) As a condition of gaining access to the City’s computer network, third party
entities must secure their own connected systems in a manner consistent with
City requirements. The City reserves the right to audit the security measures in
effect on these connected systems without prior warning. The City also reserves
the right to immediately terminate network connections with all third party
systems not meeting such requirements.
Salt Lake City Corporation Information Technology
Strategic Master Plan Effective January 2015
Revised: January 2015 Page 25
iii) File Transfers to Trusted Third Parties.
(1) File transfers between City employees and a third party may be done using email.
However, in cases where the file is large or where the file contains sensitive
information, users must be via the City’s secure File Transfer device
(slcfta.slcgov.com).
iv) Trusted Connections to Third Party Networks
(1) The establishment of a direct connection between City systems and trusted
external organizations, via the Internet or any other public network must be
approved by the Director of Information Management Services.
v) Posting/Transferring Salt Lake City Corporation Material on the Internet
(1) Users must not post City information or data on any publicly‐accessible Internet
computer system unless the posting has first been approved by the City’s
Communications Team.
vi) Sending Sensitive Information over the Internet
(1) The City’s confidential, proprietary, or private information may not be sent over
the Internet unless it has first been encrypted by approved methods.
vii) Tools Used to Break Systems Security Prohibited
(1) Unless specifically authorized by the Director of Information Management
Services, City staff may not acquire, possess, trade, or use hardware or software
tools that could be employed to evaluate or compromise information systems
security. Examples of such tools include those which defeat software copy‐
protection, discover secret passwords, or identify security vulnerabilities.
26. Virus and Malware
i) Antivirus Software required for all devices connected to the City’s network.
To promptly detect and prevent the spread of computer viruses, all devices
connecting to the City’s network must run integrity checking software. This software
detects changes in configuration files, system software files, application software
files, and other system resources. Integrity checking software must be continuously
enabled or run daily.
ii) User Involvement with Computer Viruses and/or Malware are Prohibited
Users must not intentionally write, generate, compile, copy, propagate, execute, or
attempt to introduce any computer code designed to self‐replicate, damage, or
otherwise hinder the performance of any computer's memory, file system, or
software. Such software is known as a virus, malware, worm, Trojan horse, and
similar names.
iii) Immediate Reporting of Suspected Computer Virus Infestation
Users must immediately report a suspected computer virus and/or malware
infestation to the IMS Help Desk (535‐7272).

Salt Lake City Mobile Strategy
Access to the city’s network via mobile devices is a critical piece of our current infrastructure and it is continuing to expand as more and more opportunities are developed and become available to all citizens and employees. The number of people using these devices grows exponentially each day. IMS sees great opportunities to make services more readily available to citizens and employees. This strategy will unify our direction, identify and reduce risk, and set a vision for mobile development for the City. To support the current and expected growth in this area the City needs a strategic plan that accommodates all the technologies and issues associated with this work. Issues and technologies involved include the following:
1) Technical issues a) Support of different types of customers and devices including business, employees,
consumers, and other machines.
b) Device support for notebooks, smart‐phones, tablets and other end‐point devices (i.e. parking meters).
c) Mobile applications;
i) Mobile application development platform. ii) Multi‐channel delivery model (providing applications to web, smart‐phones, tablets,
etc). iii) Methods of deploying mobile applications.
d) Support for browsers and which releases of those browsers.
e) Wireless networks; this includes Wi‐Fi access in all city buildings, wireless access via
vendor networks and free Wifi provided by other agencies and retail outlets. f) Security of wireless networks and mobile applications. Including access by city
employees to Intranet applications.
2) Strategic issues a) Process for analyzing what features of a system should be mobilized. b) Goals of the business concerning mobile support.
c) A process to appropriately manage costs.
3) Measurement of success
a) What metrics will we will use to measure success which will identify adjustments that may need to be made to the strategy.
4) Technology Issues
Salt Lake City Corporation Information Technology
Strategic Master Plan Effective January 2015
Revised: January 2015 Page 27
a) We believe that we will be required to support different types of customers and machines. How we provide these services will vary, depending upon the recipient. i) Business to employee (B2E) providing applications to employees out in the field.
Employees may have an app that provides something similar to the current “IMS Developed APPs” on our web page.
ii) Business to consumer (B2C) providing applications to the citizens and visitors. Consumers will have “start‐up” apps delivered from the OS Platform Apps store where they can choose the applications which they would like to use.
iii) Business to Business (B2B) providing business owners’ access to services they need to do business with the City. Business Owners may have apps relating only to them.
iv) Machine to Machine (M2M) providing interface with devices such as parking permits gathering data for applications. Interfaces with end‐point machines (such as parking meters) will be handled on a case‐by‐case basis.
b) Device Support
i) IMS supports applications running on all major operating systems for mobile devices, including Android, IOS, Windows, and Blackberry. Support should be provided for the current version and at least one version back.
ii) In addition applications should operate on the current version of Windows 7 and XP on notebook devices.
iii) Applications should be written to take advantage of available real estate of the device and automatically adapt to the appropriate size depending on which device is requesting the application.
iv) End‐point devices such as parking meters, etc., may need special interface capabilities. Those will be done on a case‐by‐case basis specific to the needs of the device.
c) Mobile Application Platform i) All the different operating systems and devices pose a challenge for application
development. Writing applications for each of the operating systems is expensive and leads to longer development for specific applications and more training for individual staff members to write and maintain those applications. Another approach is to use a mixture of different tools that blend together to provide one application that supports multiple device platforms. The City has decided to use ASP.Net MVC4 with HTML5 and J‐Query Mobile to create mobile applications for applications that don’t require the use of device specific hardware (i.e. cameras, location services, video, etc.). These tools provide the following benefits; (1) Provides a development platform we already know and the ability to provide
native like presentation on many devices. (2) Automatically adjusts the application depending on which platform it is to
present on with very little additional coding. (3) The application can work even when off the network. (4) Look, act, and feels like native applications. (5) Uses existing code for the core of the application, only one application to
maintain.
d) There are some limitations to this approach; we do not yet have the ability to use device hardware such as the camera or GPS. ESRI (our GIS software) provides templates for IOS and Android that do not work in this scenario. These limits must be taken into
Salt Lake City Corporation Information Technology
Strategic Master Plan Effective January 2015
Revised: January 2015 Page 28
consideration when defining the system requirements and if they are required we will have to write individual applications native to the OS. Efforts are underway to resolve these deficiencies.
e) The most common application deployment method is through the App Store for Apple products, the Android Market Place for Android phones, or Blackberry App World for Blackberries. We believe that citizens and visitors will search these stores for our applications. We intend to provide a launcher application in each of the stores that contain links to all citizen/visitor applications so the users do not have multiple applications cluttering up their devices. It will also be available on the City’s Internet web site. All employee applications will be provided in a similar fashion and on the City’s Intranet web site.
f) Browser Support. i) IMS applications will run on all major browsers (IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and
Opera) and support the current release of that browser and one release prior.
g) Wireless networks (Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, T‐mobile and others) i) All of the wireless carriers provide both voice and data support. Most smartphones
and tablets allow the user to switch between the carrier network and Wi‐Fi networks. Often this switching is behind the scenes for Wi‐Fi networks they have already configured in their devices. City written mobile applications must be delivered to provide seamless interaction between wireless platforms.
ii) We have been providing mobile access to Email, calendaring, contacts, etc. for a
number of years via these networks and will continue to support this access.
h) Wi‐Fi access i) IMS will establish Wi‐Fi access in all major buildings within the city owned buildings.
This is a secured access point allowing employees to automatically connect to our network after the initial configuration is created on the device so that employees can take their mobile devices from room to room, building to building and keep the connections available. Much of this is currently in place.
ii) Wi‐Fi is also provided by various vendors in many locations throughout the city for
customer use. However, we cannot guarantee the security of these connections. Users should take as many precautions with the latest OS as possible to protect themselves in these open networks.
i) Security Risk Analysis
i) Mobile management is important in providing consistent service to all of the types of customers and devices we might have running our applications. We are researching mobile management and feel that the most likely direction is a lightweight approach which enforces policies on the server side but cannot control the device or the mobile user in depth. However, much more research is needed before a decision is made.
5) Strategic Issues
a) Process for analyzing which features should be mobilized.
Salt Lake City Corporation Information Technology
Strategic Master Plan Effective January 2015
Revised: January 2015 Page 29
i) Some system features blend effortlessly into a mobile application. These are generally simple in nature and address routine requirements that can be accomplished in few strokes. Before a feature is mobilized we should ask the following questions;
ii) Who are you trying to reach or engage? iii) What is the audience needs and how will they use the content? iv) What information does your audience need information? v) What content needs to be viewed on both standard web and mobile devices? vi) How do you make your content sticky and engaging? vii) Can you make it simple to use?
b) Goals for the business concerning mobile support. i) Mobile applications are trendy right now, everyone wants them, but they serve to
satisfy some of the City Administration goals as well including the following; ii) “Fostering mobility” – the administration wants to promote other avenues of
transportation and access to city venues, mobile applications can help people identify and find alternative access to these venues.
iii) “Put mobile technology to work” – mobile applications can help citizen, visitors, and business owners find other solutions to transportation needs as well as other options for doing business with the city.
iv) “Sustainability” – mobile applications provide access city services without coming to city hall to do so, focusing service where the service is needed and reducing the need to expend precious resources and increasing pollution.
v) We want to make it simple and easy for citizens, visitors, and business owners to interact with the city.
c) Manage costs of mobile access to the City. i) Creating applications is an expensive task. Providing Wi‐Fi access is also expensive to
install and maintain. Given limited budget IMS needs to provide reasonable solutions to the mobile strategy. The following guidelines help us accomplish that goal; (1) Using ASP.net MVC4, HTML5 and J‐Query Mobile allows us to create one web
application for multiple platforms reducing the need to have experts and tools for each of the native platforms. (a) There will be some costs for training which includes time away from other
duties to train. (2) We will provide Wi‐Fi access to all major city buildings, this will be done as
budgets allow. 6) Strategy Measurements
The strategy will be reviewed every six months and adjusted as the need arises, individual reviews of mobile application usage and customer response will be used to indicate with applications are successful and which need to but removed or modified. As progress is made we will establish benchmarks, goals and milestones.
7) Mobile Device App Decision Tree.
The following flowchart is used to assist in determining the best candidates for mobile app development.

Revised: January 2015 Page 42
Intermediate (2‐3 Year) Goals
1. Environmental Sustainability Initiative: System Wide Training Hardware This project involves the installation of training cameras and control panels at fire stations 1 and 11. Training from these locations, or content produced in advance, can be streamed to monitors installed at each of the fire stations. Ideally, some form of interactive discussion system, such as Adobe Connect, will be included. This initiative will allow the department to stream mandatory training to stations, instead of asking all fire apparatus to routinely drive to the other side of the city to attend, which will reduce our carbon footprint. Additionally, this will provide the additional benefit of keeping fire crews in their response districts during training.
2. Credit Card Acceptance System The department currently has no ability to allow customers to pay for services via credit card from an external website, for things such as CPR training, fire lock boxes etc. Ideally, we will identify a system that integrates with the general ledger, and allow us to easily setup a fee amount for a service on our external website. The system should provide the customer and service division an email receipt.
3. Data Integration The department consumes information from many disparate databases. We ideally need a solution that will allow us to query multiple databases from one simple user interface, and share that data among departments with operational need. The ideal solution will allow us to create GIS operational dashboards, to ensure we’re meeting our objectives.
4. Digital Radio Upgrades Over the course of several fiscal years, begin the process of getting radios ready for digital operations.

Police Department The Police Department is the law enforcement agency for Salt Lake City.
Long Term Goals (3‐5 Years) 1. Integration of FirstNet into City First Responder Operations – The implementation of
FirstNet across the country is moving forward quickly. IMS should be ready to deploy and integrate when it comes to Utah.
2. Budget and plan for replacement of expired/outdated technology – The police department has a large amount of technology that supports life safety response. Close relationships that result in realistic budgeting and planning for support and replacement should be a priority.
Intermediate (2‐3 Year) Goals
1. Police Car Technology Upgrade – The police department is at the point of significantly upgrading the technology of the police first responder fleet. Components of this upgrade include (a) replacing Gobi air cards with trunk‐mounted gateways (mobile hotspot) that have GPS tracking abilities; (b) replacing laptops with small tablet computers (Panasonic G1 or M1); and (c) replacing computer mounts with touch screen monitors/docks. This plan would eliminate the need for multiple devices such as e‐ticketing devices and laptops. The identified gateway is ready to deploy on the coming FirstNet network. Although already started, this will be a multiyear project to complete.
2. Consolidated and updated GIS for entire City ‐ Currently the GIS data for the City is coming from multiple sources, and there are different versions of GIS data layers scattered around the different City departments. We would like to suggest that a central source for this data layers be created. This would allow all the departments to have a common source to go to for the most accurate and up to date layers that they use. And would also allow, for those programs not designed to have to depend on a local source, to actively always pull up and display the most up to date versions of these data layers.
3. Mobile Device Management ‐ There are many useful police applications that can be used on tablets and cell phones but cannot be used without MDM due to the fact that the applications access CJIS data and must have 2FA for those devices. MDM would provide the CJIS compliance for cell phones and tablets.
Immediate
1. 2 Factor Authentication ‐ The FBI is mandating 2FA on all devices that access CJIS that are not contained in a secure police facility. The deadline to comply was September 2014 and we are still not completely compliant.
2. MDT access for Bikes and Motors Officers ‐ Mobile Data Terminals (MDTs) are the devices that allow the officers out on the street to gain access to various kinds of information. The officers are becoming more and more dependent on the availability of this information. These devices are normally in the form of a laptop, which are currently limited to officers in cars. There are many ultra‐portable devices available today including devices that will run a full version of Windows 7 or 8. These devices would be the most
Salt Lake City Corporation Information Technology
Strategic Master Plan Effective January 2015
Revised: January 2015 Page 47
useful to the officers because of their ability to perform all of the functions that the MDTs in the car provide.
3. Complete interface with the State for submitting eCitations ‐ A new interface between Salt Lake City and the State needs to be completed. The Interface will need to consume the State’s Web services. Along with the web services the interface will also have to be able to pull data from the Versadex Database and the file servers. These three issues must be addressed for any interface to work properly.
4. Implement LANDesk ‐ Implement and use LANDesk instead of scripts so that it can be used to implement and update MDT/MRE, eMVA and other field applications as needed.
Public Services
Long Term (3‐5 Year Goals) 1. Security – General goal to implement the use of access cards, cameras, etc. to improve
the physical and technical security of the division. 2. Better online registration and payment processes. General goal to provide online tools
and resources to allow citizens to register and pay for division programs among all divisions. Much of this should be covered in a department‐wide work management system (Accela) as referenced in immediate task number one.
3. Siemens upgrading to Sego will require new controllers in all our buildings. Struxureware (upgrade for TacVista).
Intermediate (2‐3 Year) Goals
1. Document Management / Scanning. Continue to implement and further utilize Sharepoint as a department wide document management system.
2. Mobile Devices such as tablets and smartphones. This is a general goal to deploy mobile wireless devices to more people in the field that need to regularly update databases for paper‐saving, and to cut down in data entry. Cost for hardware each unit $100‐500 and $30‐50 per month wireless fees. Much of this will be dictated by those who will need access to department‐wide work management system (Accela) as referenced in immediate task number one.
3. Deployment of GPS units to the rest of the fleet vehicles in our department. Plan on renting units at approximately $35‐40 each for 200+ additional units.
4. (Facilities) Siemens upgrade to Sego 5. Injury reporting. Our department has a Desire to develop reporting that includes all costs
associated with an injury from multiple systems. This would include medical costs, employee time off, equipment or vehicle damage and any other costs relating to workplace injuries. This is currently in the exploration phase.
Immediate Tasks
1. (in process) Implement Accela Asset Management System. This is currently in process as year number one of a five year implementation plan. Licenses have been purchased, and implementation is in process. Accela will track costs, goals, known assets, preventative maintenance tasks and scheduling, planning and customer service requests. This system will show all work orders and all permits in one system. Accela will have everything viewable on GIS maps and will show all project including conflicting projects at a glance

Revised: January 2015 Page 49
2. New Cross Connection System. The existing cross connection database system is not Windows 7 compatible and will need to be updated to run on current operating system or be part of the existing re‐write of the Utility Billing System. The projected effort for this project is 1,000 hours.
3. Update our Billing System to handle new changes to the Hive Pass being proposed. 4. Design a program for data management for our Pretreatment and Storm water Section.
The projected effort for this project is 500 hours. 5. Design a program to manage our Water Source and Supply. This will need to pull data in
from our Treatment Plants, Water SCADA System and Snow Tel Sites. This will automate our extensive excel spreadsheets into one data base.
6. Design a program to share data between Tanner Ditch Irrigation Company and our PUB’s system on water stock transfers.
7. Upgrade our existing web payment screen to handle additional types of service requests. 8. Continue to upgrade our existing Water Quality Tracking System (STAR) ‐ New system for
water quality tracking would combine water quality data from our existing access program in each of our existing water treatment plants into one data base. This would allow better analysis and review of water quality data. This will have the ability to pull data from our test labs to monitor water quality across the water system. The projected effort for this project is 1,000 hours. This is currently in the testing phase.
9. Upgrade Project Tracking System or Purchase a New System. The current system was designed over twenty years ago by an outside consultant. It needs to be updated to provide easier access by employees and management. The current system is hard for IMS to support and modify. The expected effort for this project is 2,000 hours.
10. Share Point – Record Management Implementation – The Department is making document management a top priority this year. It is currently looking at doing a pilot program with Share Point this next year. The Department is currently using Hummingbird in five areas and wants to implement record management across the Department. This will require some contractual assistance and participation by the IMS Department. Projected effort for this project is 80 hours. The Department has hired a consultant to help organize and set up basic system.
11. Accela – The Accela project seeks to improve the permitting process in the City. Implementation of the permits issued at Public Utilities is projected to require about 80 hour’s effort.
12. Sewer SCADA System – The existing system which monitors and controls the sewer treatment plant is ten years old and needs to be upgraded or replaced. This would improve operations at the plant and increase safety levels. This is currently under contract.
13. Implement the use of our existing City Works Work Order System into our Water Treatment Plants and Water Reclamation Plant. This would replace an old outdated system to provide better information to management on a Department wide basis. We are currently looking at contracting this service out to a third party.
14. Expand IVR System to Include Spanish Language. The projected level of effort is 160 hours.
15. Rewrite Revenue Management System to provide more information to our customers and managers. The projected effort for this is 1,000 hours.
16. Continue to upgrade mobile device systems. This will allow our field employees to access and update work orders and map information in the field.
17. Create a shadow data base for meter read up load and down load to phase out the Itron meter reading handhelds for route cleanup. This would not post to Pubs.

Redevelopment Agency The Salt Lake City Redevelopment Agency exists to improve blighted areas of Salt Lake City, encourage economic development of the city, encourage the development of housing for low and moderate income households within the city, and encourage compliance with and implementation of the Salt Lake City Master Plan.
Long Term (3‐5 Year Goals)
1. Improved efficiency in achieving the goal of a paperless office. City Council submittals are currently provided in .PDF format.
Intermediate Goals (2‐3 Year goals)
1. RDA continues to acquire and use portable equipment. This equipment includes the user of dockable laptop computers and PDA’s for staff
2. RDA has acquired GIS software to aid in the development of custom maps. The office participates in available GIS training opportunities and eagerly awaits further refinements to the IGIS application
3. RDA continues to strive to discover and employ paperless office technologies hat permit staff and constituents to operate with a minimum of paper. The city’s planned document system is seen as key to achieving this goal.
Immediate Goals
1. The RDA like many city departments continues to drown in a sea of cellulose. Document management is needed to efficiently store and index documents. Participation in an enterprise document management system is seen as a way to accomplish this coal. RDA has acquired copiers with integrated scanners that can be employed to capture documents for electronic document management.
2. The RDA is anxious to expand the use of Laptop and Tablet computing devices in their presentation and field work. They are receptive to recommendations for cloud storage as well as tools that can be employed to achieve increased efficiency.
3. The RDA would like to investigate and use Electronic Document Signatures.

This research contains enterprise-level IT spending, staffing and costmetrics for the State and Local Government vertical industry. Informationprovided was collected throughout 2014 from a global audience of CIOsand IT Leaders.
Key Findings■ By using multiple IT investment metrics, organizations are better able to view IT spending within
the context of IT supply and demand requirements relative to business performance.
■ The 2014 State and Local Government vertical industry average IT spending as a percent ofoperating expense is 3.6%, down from 3.8% in 2013.
■ The 2014 State and Local Government vertical industry average IT spending per employee is$8,355, down from $8,581 in 2013.
Recommendations■ Use this research (or your Gartner ITBudget Tool comparison report) as a source of comparative
data to assist IT and enterprise leaders with fact-based decisions related to investments,planning, budgeting, ongoing operational assumptions and identification of quantitative bestpractices.
■ These measures should be considered in the creation of future-state (both short and long term)objectives to quantify IT planning assumptions and to better understand niche or industrycompetitive drivers, inhibitors, conditions and trends.
■ Use of this information should be considered the beginning of an ongoing value discoveryprocess. Organizations should consider investing in customized, refined, prescriptive or in-depth benchmarking engagements on a recurring basis to support the budget cycle, orwhenever making significant, fact-based IT or business decisions.

Analysis
How Does Your IT Organization Stack Up Against the Competition?
IT and enterprise leaders are challenged constantly with dynamic market conditions, wherein theorganization is evolving and technology is changing. The 2015 edition of the Gartner IT Key MetricsData (ITKMD) series, provides insight into the latest industry trends to help enterprises change,make fact-based decisions and help answer key questions similar to these:
■ Are you measuring the alignment between business and IT?
■ Are your staffing and investment levels competitive in infrastructure and operations?
■ Are you measuring your technology performance?
Gartner, Inc. | G00266023 Page 3 of 40
■ Can you prove the success of current and future IT investments?
Big enterprise changes require fact-based decisions regarding IT investments and costs.A critical evaluation of IT capabilities — past, present and future — is the cornerstone ofdelivering business value. In general, clients find their journeys with benchmarking are moresuccessful by participating in surveys, and in effect, they "get better at benchmarking by doingbenchmarking.
This research provides an overview of the key findings on spending and staffing trends from leadingorganizations around the world and also provides the current comparison data included in theGartner ITBudget Tool (see gartner.com/itbudget).
IT Key Metrics Data Research Background
The Gartner ITKMD series of reports was established in 1995 to support strategic IT investmentdecisions, and today the annual publication delivers more than 2,000 metrics, across 96 documentsand covers 21 different industries. Allowing you to rapidly identify high-level IT spending, staffing,technology and performance trends.
In an ongoing effort to study, analyze, evolve and improve enterprise performance, Gartner drives anumber of initiatives to continuously capture IT data and information from the greater Gartner clientand non-client community to support the growth of the database, the industry insight and thepublished IT metrics series. We invite you to participate in and contribute to the study to representyour vertical industry and region. The Gartner client community provides an exemplary window intothe global IT community, and, therefore, your participation is essential to this publication series.
To contribute to Gartner ITKMD research, start a survey and represent your industry and region.Surveys are available at: gartner.com/surveys.
IT Key Metrics Data Key Industry Measures Overview
This research contains relevant database averages and ranges from a subset of metrics andprescriptive engagements available through Gartner Benchmark Analytics consulting-basedcapabilities. While database averages are indicative of enterprise IT spending levels, actualspending will vary around these averages when considering the variations of unique competitivelandscapes, niche vertical industry subsectors, business scale, and IT complexity and demand,which may be justified by specific enterprise needs. These factors typically drive the context of anIT cost or performance evaluation and often dictate long-term support requirements. Ultimately,business value IT spending and staffing data should be used as a high-level directional indicatorand in the creation of planning assumptions — not viewed as a prescriptive benchmark in whichsignificant budget decisions are made.
For detailed information and metrics specific to each of the listed ITKMD vertical industries, seeTable 1 or review "IT Key Metrics Data 2015: Index of Published Documents and Metrics" for acomprehensive list of all available IT Key Metrics Data 2015 research.

Using This Research
This research was commissioned to help IT and enterprise leaders compare the cost efficiency andsupport staff productivity level of their IT infrastructure and operations environments with that ofother organizations supporting similar IT operations. To ensure a like for like comparison to theGartner metrics it is important to adhere to the data definitions, which can be found throughout thisreport.
As with any published data, many potential interpretations and analyses exist. The datasetrepresents a mix of organizations of different sizes and vertical industry segmentations. Theindustry-specific spending profiles published here represent key metrics data collected directly fromCIOs, CTOs, IT leaders and practitioners with respect to their organization’s IT investment levelsand future IT budgets. Most IT organizations follow an annual IT budgeting process and adjust theirbudgets based on changing economic and business conditions. In many organizations, IT spendinglevels are reviewed and revised on a quarterly or even monthly basis. Therefore, published ITspending benchmarks represent a "snapshot in time," and do not necessarily indicate whatenterprises will or have ultimately spent on IT in the coming year or in the past.
Although the published figures represent what Gartner calls a "stalking horse" (that is, a positionresulting from analysis of data that represents trends and results), each organization should assessits own situation carefully, and should not arbitrarily change to conform to published results (whichdo not necessarily represent best practices). For example, the metric of IT spending as a percent ofrevenue does not, by itself, provide valid comparative information that should be used to allocate ITor business resources. Moreover, IT spending statistics alone do not measure IT effectiveness andare not a gauge of successful IT organizations. They simply provide an indicative view of globalinvestment levels for the market in general.
While the industry-specific spending metrics published here and in other research provide a high-level overview of spending priorities, many organizations feel the need to further evaluate theirorganization as compared to their niche competitive landscape when benchmarking. Many firmsdecide that a formal benchmarking exercise — one that is highly customized and prescriptive forthe individual firm — is a natural follow-on to using the results presented in this research and inGartner ITKMD publications. In such exercises, companies can be more assured that they aregetting an "apples to apples" benchmark with a more refined peer group, and that the benchmarktakes into consideration variations in complexity (such as the elements of industry, enterprise size,platforms, applications and other key variables).
Gartner recommends that organizations consider an investment in such customized or in-depthbenchmarking engagements to support the budget cycle, significant IT or enterprise changes, orwhenever making significant IT cost-based decisions. The information published in this research
Page 6 of 40 Gartner, Inc. | G00266023
can be used during the time periods between prescriptive or consulting-led benchmarkengagements.
To explore Gartner's consulting-based prescriptive benchmark analytics capabilities and casestudies, see the Appendix.

Gartner IT Key Metrics Data Series
Depending on your subscription level for Gartner services, some clients have access to thecomplete Gartner ITKMD publication series. To access the series from gartner.com, select"Explore," "Metrics & Tools," and "IT Key Metrics Data."
ITKMD is part of the Gartner Benchmark Analytics range of solutions and offers a macro level lookat Gartner's global database of comprehensive cost and performance measures. ITKMD providesyou with immediate access to authoritative data on IT staffing and investment levels, as well as keytechnology cost and performance metrics. These metrics enable improved budget and investmentdecisions with regard to the changing environments of business and IT.
The ITKMD annual publication series contains more than 2,000 IT metrics published by way of 96Gartner Benchmark Analytics research notes. In addition to the key IT financial metrics in thisresearch, a variety of IT staffing and productivity metrics are available in the areas listed below.Some reports show vertical industry tendencies, while others tend to be cross-industryperspectives. Many of the metrics show averages by revenue scale or size of IT infrastructureenvironment supported (e.g. number of server operating system instances, number of installedMIPS, number of personal computing devices).
These key metrics reports are broadly defined by five key areas of the IT portfolio:
■ Key Industry Measures. Enterprise-level total IT spending and staffing metrics across 21vertical industries, including current-year and multiyear averages. Metrics based on enterprisesize in terms of annual revenues are often provided.
■ Key Infrastructure Measures. IT functional area-specific unit cost, productivity andperformance measures for the IT infrastructure environments, including current-year andmultiyear averages for the mainframe, Windows server, Linux x86 server, Unix server, storage,end-user computing, IT service desk, data and voice network environments. Metrics byworkload size are often provided.
■ Key Applications Measures. Application development and application support spending andstaffing metrics, project measures, life cycle phases, productivity and quality measures (currentyear and multiyear).
■ Key Information Security Measures. Enterprise-level total spending and staffing measures byindustry and region.
■ Key Outsourcing Measures. Enterprise-level total spending and staffing measures by industryand region.

IT Key Metrics Data Source
Information for ITKMD is continuously collected worldwide via direct fact-finding in our manybenchmarking and consulting engagements, through surveys of the Gartner community and atGartner events, in addition to surveys of non-Gartner-based communities. Financial information,such as revenue and operating income, is also collected from secondary research sources, such asannual reports and public databases.
Data Variations
As information for ITKMD is compiled by Gartner from multiple sources, we do not use a specificsampling method. The data collected each year may have a different distribution of organizationsizes (revenue/business operating expenses/employees), and geographies. While we do groupsimilar companies within each of the individual industry categories, there is always some diversity inbusinesses represented. For this reason, there may be minor or significant fluctuations in metricsfrom year to year.
IT Key Metrics Data industry reports contain tables below each box and whisker chart that breakout the metric by operating budget ranges (e.g., Greater than $10B, $1B-$10B etc.) The sample sizeavailable for each of these ranges is much smaller than the sample size for the whole industrycategory. For this reason there may be larger year to year fluctuations in the revenue range metricsthan there are for each industry as a whole. While the operating budget ranges can provide usefulinformation, we believe that the best way to evaluate the metrics is through the average, middlequartile, and range information available in the box and whisker charts.
Demographics
Government — State and Local Industry Definition
For the purpose of this publication Gartner has defined the State and Local Government verticalindustry as:

Operating Budget Size Categories
The niche subsector, business scale and future state strategy of each organization in the State andLocal Government vertical industry drive many of the variables required to understand theappropriate level of total IT investment required to remain competitive.
To offer some high-level insight into the effect of business scale relative to IT investment, this reportwill look at five environment scales within our represented data for selective metrics, in terms ofUSD operating budget size as defined below.
■ Less than $250 million in operating expense/budget
■ Between $250 million and $500 operating expense/budget
■ Between $500 million and $1 billion in operating expense/budget
■ Between $1 billion and $10 billion in operating expense/budget
■ $10 billion and greater in operating expense/budget
2014 IT Investment Measures
Total IT Spending/Budget Definition
For the purpose of this research, Gartner has defined "total IT spending" as the following:
"The best estimate of total spending at the end of the 12-month budget period for IT to supportthe enterprise. IT spending/budget can come from anywhere in the enterprise that incurs ITcosts, and it is not limited to the IT organization. It includes estimates by enterprises ondecentralized IT spending and or 'shadow' IT. It is calculated on an annualized 'cash flow view'basis, and, therefore, contains capital spending and operational expenses, but not depreciationor amortization."
Page 10 of 40 Gartner, Inc. | G00266023
What the IT Spending/Budget Includes, From a Resource or Cost Perspective
■ Hardware, software, personnel (including contractors, travel, benefits and training), outsourcing(external IT services like consulting, system integration, data and voice transmission, softwareas a service, infrastructure as a service), disaster recovery and occupancy costs associatedwith supporting IT within the enterprise. Costs also include all taxes (except value-added taxwhere it is recovered or refunded to the organization).
■ Note: Occupancy costs, include fully burdened costs for the facilities being used by the ITstaff supporting the enterprise. Some examples include office space, furniture, electricity,maintenance, property taxes, security and office supplies. Occupancy costs for spacededicated to IT functions, such as the data center, including power/heat management andraised floor, are also included.
What the IT Spending/Budget Includes, From an IT Functional Area or Activity Perspective
■ The data center (for example, mainframes, servers and storage), end-user computing devices(for example, desktops, laptops, tablets, thin clients and smartphones), voice and datanetworks (including, but not limited to, voice and data transmissions, fixed and mobiletelephony, and Internet access services), IT service desk, and applications (for example,development and maintenance).
■ IT support functions, such as the office of the CIO; supervisory management; finance andadministrative costs, such as purchasing; asset management; process management; andmarketing of IT services.
■ Dedicated data processing equipment used in operations, production and engineeringenvironments — examples are computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and standard computing equipment used in devices for factory automation, and tabletPCs used by healthcare professionals.
What the IT Spending/Budget Does Not Include
■ Costs for technology or services that are resold. Examples include salaries for developersinvolved in building commercially packaged software, or IT-skilled employees who provideservices for the organizations' external clients.
■ Operational technology that is:
■ Equipment-built or purchased for non-data-processing purposes, but which hascomputerized components. Examples include robotic manufacturing machines, automatedteller machines, specialized point-of-sale devices, scanners, blood pressure monitors andsensors on a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system.
■ Appliance-like or proprietary data processing equipment that has a single (typically industryvertical) purpose and cannot be used for other general purposes. A typical example is acomputer that can only control the flow of electricity through the power grid. Since it cannotbe repurposed, it is not included in our model. Note that other systems that gather data
Gartner, Inc. | G00266023 Page 11 of 40
from this type of computer and can be used for other purposes would not be consideredoperational technology and, therefore, would be in scope of our model.
■ Depreciation or amortization expenses, which could lead to double counting from anaccounting perspective.
■ Internal "cross charges" and corporate allocations related to large, significant and/or unusualone-time expenses, such as reductions in workforce, redundancy, relocations, retirement,human resources and chairperson's salary.
■ Business data subscriptions and services (such as Bloomberg), even if they are managed by theIT organization.
■ Business process outsourcing services (BPO) where organizations outsource entire businessfunctions such as payroll or benefits management. This includes cases where the BPO vendorprovides access to software, and also guarantees that the outcomes of their services will meetbusiness requirements, such as tax and withholding regulations. Note: where a vendor providesSoftware as a Service and only guarantees that the software will perform as specified, then thisis in scope of the IT spending/budget. Traditional outsourcing of IT functions, for exampleservers and email, are also still within scope.
Points of Clarification
The IT Key Metrics Data: Key Industry Measures publication series looks at IT spending from a"cash flow" view, in that IT spending is defined as "the total of the IT operating budget (excludingdepreciation and amortization), plus IT capital expenditure for the current year." This view allowsorganizations to understand the current year's cash outlay based on current-year management,plans and future-state strategy objectives. Many organizations monitor IT spending results usingwhat is sometimes called the annualized "book view" or "accounting view," which represents the IToperating expenditure budget, including current depreciation (the allocation of prior years' ITcapitalized expenses, which the enterprise records on its books for the current year). Capitalbudgets for the year in this accounting-based view are typically collected and reported separately.While this accounting view is helpful in outlining the annual cost of IT, it often does not accuratelyreflect the current strategy (and the respective investment decisions) because depreciationrepresents decisions made in the past. In this research, the ratio of IT operating versus capitalspending is provided so that detailed comparisons can be made.
It should be noted that IT spending as a percent of revenue in the ITKMD is calculated on the basisof the current year's IT spending (budget) divided by the previous year's stated revenue. Thecalculation is made in this way because the current year's financial data is typically not available atthe time of publication, while the IT spending/budget data is available. Also, the IT budget for afuture year is based on experience from the current year.
Although Gartner publishes worldwide vertical-industry-specific IT spending and staffing metrics,ITKMD does not publish metrics by vertical industries within key geographic regions becauseprevious research has shown that spending patterns are broadly similar by vertical market acrossregions. So, for example, financial services tend to spend a relatively high percentage of revenuecompared with other vertical industries, whether the company is in Europe, Asia/Pacific or North
Page 12 of 40 Gartner, Inc. | G00266023
America. While this information may not be available through published research, Gartner doesprovide prescriptive benchmarking services versus unique peer groups by industry subsector andor marketplace through the Gartner Consulting capabilities on a service for a fee basis.
To explore Gartner's consulting based prescriptive benchmark analytics capabilities and casestudies, see the Appendix.
IT Intensity
IT intensity, which is defined as "the level of IT investment relative to business results," is afundamental tool in business strategy and IT communications. Although many organizations focuson one measure to understand their relative IT investment levels, Gartner has found that no singlemeasure tells the whole story, and that the metrics need a business context to drive value andmeaning for the greater enterprise to leverage. Gartner suggests that clients view IT investmentagainst multiple measures of business volume and financial performance, and then triangulate onthese as compared with various ratios of business efficiency and productivity. Next, incorporatethese metrics into regular communications with the appropriate business context to link ITinvestment to business performance indicators.
For the purpose of the IT Key Metrics Data: Key Industry Measures publication series, Gartnersuggests that clients triangulate between IT spending as a percent of revenue, IT spending as apercent of operating expense, and IT spending per company employee to understand relative ITintensity levels. Next, clients should cross-examine those measures against business productivityratios (such as revenue per employee, operating income per employee and profitability ratios) tounderstand the impact on the business. For more information on these metrics, see "IT Key MetricsData 2015: Index of Published Documents and Metrics" for a comprehensive list of all available ITKey Metrics Data 2015 research.
IT Spending as a Percent of Operating Expense
IT spending as a percent of operating expense is another view of IT investment levels in terms of therole IT plays in overall business spending patterns.
Business operational expense is defined as:
"The total expense associated with the business units supported by the IT organization. Thisincludes items such as selling, general and administrative expenses, cost of goods sold (or costof revenue), research and development, depreciation, and depletion and amortization expenses.For insurance, this includes underwriting expenses and loss and loss-adjustment expenses; forbanking organizations, it includes interest expenses and noninterest expenses; for governmentand nonprofit organizations, it is represented by the enterprise operating budget."
While revenue may be subject to external-market-based volatilities, business operational expensetypically remains much more consistent and predictable year over year. Therefore, it better reflectsthe overall business investment strategy. Typically, organizations with a greater level of IT
Gartner, Inc. | G00266023 Page 13 of 40
investment relative to operating expense view IT as a strategic enabler, and this can improvebusiness performance and productivity levels.

IT Spending per Employee
IT spending per employee is often used to determine the amount of IT support the averageorganization's workforce receives.
Company employee count is defined as:
"The count of employees (i.e., head count, excluding enterprise contractors and consultants),regardless of whether these employees are frequent users of the technology supported by theIT organization. This includes full-time and part-time employees, or as reported in the publicrecord."
Page 14 of 40 Gartner, Inc. | G00266023
This measure helps to establish a link between IT investment and automation levels within thecontext of the workforce that supports revenue. Variations in this measure can represent niche-industry-specific delivery processes for service or product delivery, and, thus, should be viewed inconjunction with revenue and operating income per employee. Organizational staffing strategiesand the use of contract employees can also impact this measure.
An increase in IT spending per employee is often viewed as a negative trend. However, this may notalways be the case, as a decrease in employees (or a lack of increase of additional employees whenbusiness improves) can result in a higher value, simply because there is a smaller number ofemployees that are divided into the same or increasing IT spending size. Therefore, the overall trendmay have been impacted by continuing lower levels of general employment and the fact that, inmany cases, organizations have returned to profitability, but have been reluctant to increase hiring.For information-intensive enterprises, an increase in their figure for IT spending per employee mayindicate a productivity improvement, due to automation or digitization.

IT Full-Time Equivalents as a Percent of Employees
IT FTEs as a percent of employees is a key measure of IT support and IT intensity from a humancapital perspective.
We define an IT FTE as follows:
"An IT FTE represents the logical staff to support functions performed by the physical staff,measured in calendar time. This includes all staffing levels within the organization, frommanagers and project leaders to daily operations personnel. This also includes insourced FTEsand contract FTEs. However, this excludes the staff of a third-party vendor (for example, IToutsourcing), which is not operationally managed by the in-house staff, but rather is managedby the vendor."
Understanding the relative level of IT staff dedicated to supporting the business can also assist inidentifying whether the staff size is appropriate. This should be considered within the context of theoverall enterprise sourcing strategy and future-state objectives. Variables to consider in tandem withthis metric include IT staffing distribution, contract versus insourced FTEs, and IT outsourcing as apercent of IT spending, as well as the enterprise sourcing strategy — Does the total employee countaccurately represent the organization's workforce that is supported by IT? Do you have the ability totrack the total number of internal users supported by IT?

IT Resource Distributions
Up to this point, the figures have shown spending and staffing trends overall, without distinguishingbetween the strategic, financial or operational categories that compose them. Through thesecategories, you can draw conclusions about critical investment areas, key investment themes andcompetitive spending and staffing levels.
IT Operational Versus Capital Spending
IT operational versus capital spending helps to portray the IT investment profile for an organizationin a given year.
IT operational expense is defined as:
"The total day-to-day operations and maintenance expenses for this fiscal year that have notbeen capitalized. These do not include any amortization and depreciation expenses."
IT capital spending is defined as:
"The total capitalized IT spending for the fiscal year (that is, the full value of capitalized assetsacquired in the fiscal year). This includes investments in new application development and ITinfrastructure."
This information is typically available in most accounting or IT finance departments, and, thus, itmay be easy to obtain year over year. This metric can provide visibility into the cyclical nature ofcapital investments (such as hardware, software and large service contracts) compared withrecurring operational expenses (such as personnel, facilities and maintenance expenses). Thechallenge is in leveraging this information to communicate the linkage between IT investment andbusiness results, because it is a traditional accounting view of IT cash flow and does not highlighthow IT investment enables improved business performance.

Strategic IT Spending Categories: IT Spending to Run the Business, IT Spending to Growthe Business and IT Spending to Transform the Business
The distribution of IT spending to run the business, grow the business and transform the businessprovides a view of the IT investment profile to support business performance. In some industries, itis not uncommon to see a high "run" focus — typically because organizations in the industry are notplanning strong changes in business model growth or high organic growth — which often translatesinto a more "cost center" role for IT in the industry or niche sector.
Classifying IT spending into categories that show impact on business outcomes or success can aidalignment and quantify underinvestment in IT. Gartner uses the following portfolio spendingcategories and defines them as follows:
■ Run the business: This is an indicator of how much of the IT resource is consumed andfocused on the continuing operation of the business. It includes all nondiscretionary expensesas part of the run-the-business cost.
■ Grow the business: This is an indicator of how much of the IT resource is consumed andfocused on developing and enhancing IT systems in support of business growth (typicallyorganic growth). Discretionary investments are more likely to be included in the grow-the-business or transform-the-business cost.
■ Transform the business: This is an indicator of how much of the IT resource is consumed andfocused on implementing technology systems that enable the enterprise to enact new businessmodels. This is very much a "venture" category and would be represented by activities such asa brick-and-mortar retailer moving to online shopping, a traditional bank offering online banking(or moving into offering insurance services), or a commercial airline offering new freightservices.
Page 18 of 40 Gartner, Inc. | G00266023
Gaps in business alignment can be found by examining IT spending as it relates to the day-to-dayoperations of a business (run), the organic growth of the business or productivity improvement(grow) and its support of major business transformation, new products, services or business models(transform).
A common misconception with this measure is that an IT initiative that may transform the ITorganization, such as data center modernization or virtualization, should be classified as a"transform the business" investment. While these IT initiatives do transform the IT organization, theyshould primarily be classified as "run the business" investments because they support pre-existingIT services. IT transformation often leads to new business process improvements that enable thebusiness to grow or build new revenue streams. Therefore, these costs would need to be evaluatedand distributed based on IT service and business performance. The run, grow and transformbusiness framework should always be viewed in business terms with respect to how IT will enablethe business to grow or transform revenue, operating income and/or profit margins.

Determining the Business Context for Value
As organizations leverage the run-the-business, grow-the-business and transform-the-businessconcepts at a macro level, Gartner has found it helpful to define various IT investments (andportions of investments) with the same basic framework to illustrate the projected impact at theindividual IT initiative and project levels.
With a basic understanding of the framework, as outlined here, organizations can apply the decisiontree (see Figure 8) to select the category that best describes business value for their IT initiatives.

Identifying Value in Each Category
When looking to map individual IT initiatives to the run the business, grow the business andtransform the business framework, consider the following points of view:
■ Run the Business: In most run-the-business cases, the basic function is essential to staying inbusiness, and the need for the function is not at issue. Price/performance is the real issue.Don't justify the need for the organization to have paychecks or to track expenses. The valuestatements need to justify:
■ The investment in terms of price/performance
■ Changing over to electronic paychecks to increase accuracy and eliminate rework
■ Outsourcing expense management to lower monthly support costs
■ Server upgrades to eliminate unplanned downtime
■ Grow the Business: Think through the whole value chain. For example, a capability thatenables a reduction in the product development cycle time equates to more new products tomarket faster, which can lead to more revenue and/or market share. As in this example,construct the value argument from measurable operational improvements and a plausible set of
Page 20 of 40 Gartner, Inc. | G00266023
value chain connections, instead of directly forecasting financial benefit. Stakeholders must seehow the business value is generated to properly understand the opportunity.
■ Transform the Business: These opportunities make the world in which the organizationoperates a different place. To discuss value, a picture must be painted of how the world will bedifferent. At the industry level, describe who will win or lose, how and why. At the market level,describe what makes the market new or different, and what new rules will separate winnersfrom losers. At the enterprise level, describe what the bet is: What is at risk for the client(starting with the entire investment and possibly including the entire company — for example,Motorola bet and lost $26 billion on the Iridium project), and what can be gained? Apple, on theother hand, invested in iTunes (a Web-based service), and, thus, created not only a newrevenue model with an online storefront, but also a new platform to catapult and transform itsproduct set (as well as the market) in terms of the disruptive technologies behind its iPod,iPhone and iPad.
The Link to Strategy
The run-grow-transform framework is a starting point for the overall process of describing,forecasting and measuring IT value. Gartner believes that the initial language and metrics used forbusiness value are critical success factors in the organization's ability to make good IT investmentdecisions. For organizations that are looking for best practice, consider linking individual IT servicesto individual business process performances in a causal chain. For more information, see "A SimpleFramework to Translate IT Benefits Into Business Value Impact"; this document has been archived;some of its content may not reflect current conditions.
IT Spending Distribution: Hardware, Software, Personnel and Outsourcing, 2014
The distribution of spending between hardware, software, personnel and outsourcing costs canshow the dynamics of IT investments. For the purpose of this research, personnel includesoccupancy/facilities costs.
The definitions of each category are as follows:
■ Hardware Expenses: These include all hardware expenses described in the IT spending/budget definition.
■ Software Expenses: These include all software expenses described in the IT spending/budgetdefinition.
■ Personnel Expenses: These include:
■ Salary and Benefits Expenses: These should include salary (including overtime pay),benefits and "other" employee costs, such as travel and training for all IT FTEs. The "benefitload" should include costs for bonuses, paid holidays, vacations, medical/dental coverage,life and accident insurance, retirement plans, stock plans, disability, Social Security,unemployment compensation, dependent care, tuition reimbursements and employeeassistance programs (for example, physical exams, exercise programs and similar costs).
Gartner, Inc. | G00266023 Page 21 of 40
■ Occupancy/Facilities Expenses: These include fully burdened costs for the facilities beingused by the staff that supports the enterprise. Some examples include office space,furniture, electricity, maintenance, property taxes, security and office supplies. Occupancycosts for space dedicated to IT functions, such as the data center (including power/heatmanagement and raised floors), are also included.
■ Outsourcing Expenses: These include the fees for third-party or outsourcing contracts inwhich "outsourcing" is defined as "any situation in which the full operational responsibility for ITservices is completely handed over to an external service provider (for example, subcontractingmicrofiche, print, maintenance, procurement, system management and equipment)." Thisincludes outsourced transmission services/expenses.
This measure can be helpful in adding context to the IT investment strategy from a sourcingperspective, in terms of accounting-based resources that may be insourced (for example, IThardware, software, personnel and occupancy/facilities costs) versus services delivered by a thirdparty (for example, outsourced services and data/voice transmission costs). As an organizationincreases or decreases the level of third-party/outsourced services, it may find an inverse effect inits associated personnel, hardware and/or software expenditures, depending on the scope of third-party services retained and on business requirements. The cyclical nature of capital investments inIT hardware and software may also play a significant role in an organization's IT spending outlayduring a given year.

Distribution of IT FTEs: Insourced Versus Contractor, 2014
The distribution of IT FTEs (insourced versus contractor) can help provide a view of the IT staffingstrategy.
Insourced IT FTEs are defined as:
Page 22 of 40 Gartner, Inc. | G00266023
"FTEs who are employed by the IT organization (excluding contractors and consultants). Theseinclude all full-time and part-time employees supporting the IT environment, as defined by ITspending/budget."
Contract IT FTEs are defined as:
"Contract FTEs (contractors) who are supplemental to your staff and are "operationally"managed by the in-house staff. These include all full-time, part-time and temporary contractorssupporting the IT environment, as defined by IT spending/budget."
IT contract labor or contractor usage can be an effective approach to maintaining flexibility andagility when business conditions are changing. However, keeping contractors for extended periodscan be costly and limit process standardization.

Distribution of IT Resources by IT Functional Area
The distribution of IT cost by IT functional area provides a view of key IT resource consumption inthe context of the overall IT portfolio:
■ Definitions for the IT Functional Area Framework are defined below.
■ This distribution is different from all the previous metrics because it represents an annual"expense view" of IT costs, which includes depreciation and amortization, as well as the currentyear's operational, lease and maintenance expenses. However, this view excludes the fullcapital expense outlay of the given year, to reflect the total annual cost of the IT environment.
The distribution of IT expenses into these categories helps to define the relative level of IT resourcesrequired per year to support the technology environment portfolio. This is often leveraged in tandemwith IT resource planning exercises, wherein annual cost and staff resource allocations can beviewed in terms of IT infrastructure (data center, end-user computing, IT service desk, data network
Gartner, Inc. | G00266023 Page 23 of 40
and voice network) versus applications (application development and application support) versus IToverhead (IT management, IT finance and IT administration). While this measure is helpful inidentifying relative volumes of IT resource consumption by IT functional area, as compared toindustry, it does not aid in identifying whether resources are being leveraged in a cost-effective orproductive manner.
By viewing human resources (IT FTEs) within the context of the total portfolio, organizations are ableto identify which environment is the most labor-intensive as a percent of the IT labor pool. Typically,application activities (development and support) demand the most resources from both cost andstaffing perspectives. The degree to which an organization outsources should be consideredalongside such staffing metrics.

To better understand IT functional area cost-efficiency levels, Gartner recommends evaluatingindividual IT functional area annual costs compared with the workload supported, within the contextof service levels, complexity, demand and scale. For more information on cost measures by ITfunctional area, see Gartner's various IT Key Metrics Data: Key Infrastructure Measures research(which is cited throughout this report and in the IT Functional Area Framework section).
IT Functional Area Framework
The following sections provide guidance on how to count costs and FTE numbers, as defined by thescope of the IT functional area framework/chart of accounts. This includes costs associated withthe operation, lease, maintenance, and depreciation of hardware, software, connectivity, disasterrecovery, occupancy/facilities and personnel to support the environment as defined below.
Data Center
Note: Data center (enterprise computing and storage) includes mainframe, Linux, Unix andWindows servers, storage, and any other platform running in the data center.
Hardware
■ Processing devices: Include all hardware in server platform configurations, including internaldisk storage, controllers, external disk arrays, tape libraries, optical jukeboxes, processors,memory, cards and other offline media supplies.
Software
■ Annual costs for host and virtual OS licenses, virtualization and partitioning software, utilities,databases, middleware, content/document management search engines, messaging,communications (TCP/IP, FTP and host-based) and server security software.
Connectivity
■ Intra-data-center connectivity: This typically includes routers, switches, load balancers,controllers and appliances. Data center communication networks are dedicated networks thatare segregated or isolated from the general-purpose LANs or WANs. General-purpose orshared network costs are excluded from the data center and should be allocated to the datanetwork.
■ Inter-data-center connectivity: This typically includes the transmission cost and hardware costfor the fiber, used and unused (dark fiber), and the switches and controllers. Data center remotecommunication networks are dedicated networks that are segregated or isolated from thegeneral-purpose LAN or WAN. General-purpose or shared network costs are excluded from thedata center and should be allocated to the data network.
Disaster Recovery
■ Includes disaster recovery contracts (compute and communications) for hot sites (shellfacilities), dedicated hardware, software and connectivity.
Gartner, Inc. | G00266023 Page 25 of 40
Facilities/Occupancy
■ Costs for power/heat management, furniture, access systems, office space, raised floor and / orslab using overhead cable trays etc.
Personnel
■ Operations/maintenance, engineering technical services, planning and process management,service administration, management and administration, and facilities management.

Conclusions
A successful IT performance measurement program communicates metrics that are important to atarget audience. This remains true when communicating IT investments to the business. Themetrics and benchmarks that Gartner has identified here provide a high-level view of current trendsin IT by industry. They also reveal trends in business alignment, staffing, technology andoutsourcing. They can be used to assist in communicating alignment with the business and inevaluating targets in key technology areas. They provide context for key business decisions andinternal performance measures.
It is important to understand that the published averages are not targets, and decisions of "good" or"bad" performance should not be based on these metrics. They are indicative reference points fromwhich to view current performance and investment levels to help you identify differences that couldmerit further analysis. Articulating why your organization is higher or lower than these metrics is thefirst step in better business alignment and the communication of IT's impact on businessperformance.
