Today I was invited to go to the meeting with the Consolidation of Information Technology Team. In this meeting David Villanueva, the Chief Information Officer, introduced all the team members; Rob Schultz from DHA, Ray Reis from DHHS, Jeff Leveroni from MSA; Rami Zakaria, Debra Nadolna, Chuck Parker, Jim Reiner and Alan Douma from OCIT, Cynthia Silver from ISA and Craig Rader from Purchasing. Each member got up and gave what their tasks were.
The Team has already done considerable thinking on what they want to see in the new structure. What they came up with were four groupings, Infrastructure, Application, Service Desk and Office of the CIO. They are hiring a consultant; that has done similar consolidations; to study what the County has now and recommend the new IT structure. They are doing this so they can get it done right the first time and not waste a lot of time redoing steps.
The CIO and all the members of the Consolidation of Information Technology Team talked of a new Information Technology Structure; not OCIT; that everybody would be moved into. They are not doing a critic of the jobs that all of you are doing, simply redoing the structure of your managers and where you might sit. I felt real good that they are doing a necessary job, despite what the Budget says.
They are looking on having this new structure figured out by the first of the fiscal year.
