UTA Technology Strategy
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Discussion
RECOMMENDATION:
Informational item for discussion
BACKGROUND:
Annually, the IT Director and IT Leadership team update the IT Strategy Roadmap based on what major projects are in-progress, future projects, system upgrades, and systems that are approaching end of life. As this is a 5-Year roadmap, many large projects span multiple years, updates are also revisited multiple times a year to keep current with project progress and new initiatives that the IT Department is assigned from the business. In years 6 - 10 the IT Director and IT Leadership team estimates what projects or technologies will need to be added or replaced.
DISCUSSION:
The IT Department is crucial to UTA in making sure our infrastructure, software, systems, desktop computing, and cyber security are functioning to support our mission of “We Move You”. The IT Department makes decisions every day that could affect our customers (operations, finance, marketing, planning, capital services, and communications) who support our rider’s experience. We strive to provide reliable systems to UTA with controls and governance to protect from security breaches and system failures.
ALTERNATIVES:
Over the next 2 to 10 years technology will always be a changing landscape. As the IT leadership team updates this document annually, it will change with new alternatives to existing issues and initiatives.
FISCAL IMPACT:
It is estimated that IT costs will be $75,000,000 over the next 5 years and $100,000,000 to $150,000,000 over the next 10 years.
