By the end of 2008, we will establish Data Center 2, a secure and disaster resistant data center facility, within the County's hardened Emergency Operations Center (EOC) at the 2501 Building. This will improve the County's ability to continue business operations during service disruptions including a disaster or major emergency by enabling 50% of the major County business systems to continue to operate if the main Data Center 1 becomes inoperable .
Migrate to a centralized, fault-tolerant messaging infrastructure that will partially meet the County's business continuity electronic communication needs as outlined in the Continuity of Operations Plans. The enhancement will result in 8,000 additional hours of email availability over the course of a year.
Deploy Windows Vista as an addtional supported operating system by 4th quarter 2008 using current staffing levels. Work with vendors and use best practices to limit increase in cost of new PC's to no more than 25% over the current cost.
Improve the efficiency of County business operations by deploying additional on-line processing capabilites via the Pierce County Internet site for County business functions (LINX, PALS Online and Online Jobs) and increasing the number of 2008 site visits by 15% over 2007.
GIS will evaluate alternative licensing and funding approaches for the development and procurement of an updated countywide orthophotography dataset. GIS will survey county departments on their imagery needs and match needs with state-of-the-art orthophotography products. The optimal product will supply accurate imagery and enable new image uses at a lower cost. GIS will perform the management, procurement, quality control and implementation of the dataset by 12/31/08.
