Changes and Trends
In fiscal year 2013-14, the District’s focus is on information technology initiatives that support
ePermitting, scientific data management, mobile computing, and the long-term sustainability of key
business support systems. The ePermitting activities include enhancements to support the multiple
web browsers commonly used by the public, more secure handling of credit card transactions,
completion of key system functionalities identified by the Regulation Division, and modifications
required by rule and business process changes. Scientific data management support focuses on
developing consumer-friendly systems that will allow the general public to view the District’s extensive
data stores. Examples include map-based data viewing tools and a data-driven water resource
dashboard. Mobile computing efforts will focus on providing staff with remote access to ePermitting,
scientific data and business support systems from Smartphones and tablet computers. Long-term
sustainability initiatives include upgrading the Human Resources Information System, replacing the
Storage Area Network, refreshing of aging servers, and development of business continuity strategies
for major information systems.
