EXHIBIT 3 – COUNTY’S CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICE (CIO) GUIDING<br />
PRINCIPLES<br />
LOS ANGELES COUNTY<br />
CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICE<br />
Guiding Principles for Systems Acquisition and Development<br />
Federated Governance Model<br />
To ensure that Information Technology (IT) resources deliver maximum business value,<br />
the County employs a federated structure to manage information technology. Reflecting<br />
the overall business model <strong>of</strong> decentralized County management, the federated<br />
approach balances the benefits <strong>of</strong> local autonomy with the advantages <strong>of</strong> enterprisewide<br />
IT coordination and management. It simultaneously allows responsiveness to<br />
business issues and accountability to local management, while establishing a<br />
convergent IT direction and optimized infrastructure. This approach keeps decisionmaking<br />
as close as possible to the business unit while integrating the fabric <strong>of</strong> the<br />
County technology infrastructure, electronic data, and horizontal processes.<br />
The County’s Federated Governance Model recognizes three levels:<br />
• Enterprise – policy, standards, infrastructure, enterprise <strong>system</strong>s, security, and<br />
telecommunications.<br />
• Affinity Group – processes, <strong>system</strong>s, and data shared between multiple<br />
departments.<br />
• <strong>Department</strong> – <strong>system</strong>s internal to a specific department or functional area.<br />
Each <strong>of</strong> these three tiers represents varying blends <strong>of</strong> integration and autonomy. At<br />
each level, an IT function is autonomous except as it relates to the tiers(s) above, and<br />
complies with information technology policies, standards, conventions and practices for<br />
purposes <strong>of</strong> business processes and <strong>system</strong>s integration.<br />
1. Guiding Principles for System Acquisition and Development<br />
The County’s Chief Information Office has developed the following principles for<br />
new <strong>system</strong> acquisitions and <strong>system</strong> development.<br />
• Open Standards. All new <strong>system</strong> acquisition and development should<br />
employ products or solutions that use open industry standards to facilitate<br />
interoperability between applications, <strong>system</strong>s and organizations. Open<br />
standards are technology specifications that are publicly available and<br />
affirmed by an industry-recognized standards body. The use <strong>of</strong> open<br />
standards that allow for interoperability between applications and vendorspecific<br />
products and will ensure their flexibility and adaptability to changing<br />
business needs.<br />
