Chief Deputy County Executive for Internal Services Message

The Sacramento County 2016-2017 Strategic Information Technology Plan

is the vision for our evolving and dynamic IT operation. This Plan outlines the

importance of securely delivering IT services, but also remains flexible enough

to adapt to future technology needs.

Technology is integrated into nearly every facet of our lives and the County

is committed to transforming County services through technology, while

continually working to enhance mobile access to our services and information.

This IT Plan also recognizes the County’s stepped-up efforts to use technology

for community outreach including the support of local children’s charities and

schools though donations of surplus computer equipment and hosting a civic

technology challenge to enhance access to County services.

Through the strategic use of technology and investment in IT infrastructure, the

County will continue to provide effective and innovative services to residents.

Message from the Chief Information Officer

Each year, the Information Technology (IT) Plan frames our systematic approach

to streamline, modernize and optimize technology support services for

Sacramento County departments and residents.

I am pleased to report a completion rate of more than 80% for the projects

outlined in the 2015-16 IT Plan. Significant accomplishments included: hosting

the first Hack4Sac community engagement project; constructing a public safety

radio tower in the Sacramento Delta; implementing a private SacCounty cloud

solution; and completing numerous departmental technology projects.

For the 2016-17 IT Plan, we continue to set ambitious objectives that add value

to our customer departments and constituents, prioritize the modernization of

the County’s aging information systems, strengthen our information security

practices, and continuously improve overall service levels.

Building on the success of past years, we continue to set time aside for

community involvement as we plan for our 4th Annual Charity Golf Tournament

benefiting Sacramento County children charities, explore new partnerships

with community organizations, and support science, technology, engineering

and math programs in local colleges and high schools.

More than ever, the County uses information technology to engage residents

and provide them with easy access to County services. It is our strategic

investment in technology and infrastructure that also allows the County to

drive efficiencies and cost-saving measures. The Sacramento County 2016-2017

Strategic Information Technology Plan is the map for our evolving and dynamic

IT operation.

Sincerely,

Sacramento County Chief Information Officer

Partnering with Code4Sacramento, our local Code for America brigade, the Center for Digital Government and the Sacramento

Area Council of Governments, Sacramento County’s Department of Technology planned its first ever six-week long civic

technology engagement event called Hack4Sac.

Sacramento County has over 100 data sets available on our open data portal, data.saccounty.net. While the open data portal

has graphical visualizations for some data, other data sets are not easy for the public to consume. Our goal with Hack4Sac

was twofold:

• To encourage the local technology community to analyze our open data sets and help the

community consume it in a new way and

• Engage the community with County services in a new way.

Early in our planning, we invited County departments to join us in this civic engagement opportunity

to provide specific business challenges and prepare short idea pitches for our Kickoff Event.

On March 1, 2016, we hosted our Kickoff Event and introduced eight public-facing challenges from

departments with service delivery challenges. Many of these challenges had datasets available on the

open data portal; we encouraged participants to build solutions that would help the community understand

these datasets in a new way.

2016 First Place Winners - SacSOS.org

1st Place: SacSos.org, a mobile and web app that provides a consolidated listing of Human Assistance resources;

2nd Place: Polling Accessibility App, a web app that allows voters with specific needs to identify accessibility barriers at their

assigned polling place and identify alternative voting options;

3rd Place: The Human Assistance Resource Exchange app, an online platform that facilitates the donation process between

organizations with surplus equipment and individuals needing supplies.

Focus Area 2: Enhance the County’s IT Infrastructure

County of Sacramento’s Wide Area Network (CoSWAN)

architecture supports fully integrated voice, video and

data, and has a robust extranet environment, delivering

services and resources to over 160 (mostly law enforcement

and public safety) partners. Our network is a hybrid WAN

environment, acting as a service provider to these extranet

partners. To provide better service to both internal and

external customers, we are migrating from a legacy IP

network to Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS). While IP

networks make routing decisions based on layer 3 address

information, MPLS affixes “labels” in between layers 2 and 3,

allowing for much more granular control of traffic flows and

better data security.

This new architecture allows us to implement Session Initiation

Protocol (SIP) and replace 38 ISDN circuits with two Ethernet

connections. Implementing SIP and decommissioning

the existing ISDN circuits reduces telephony costs by

approximately $180,000 per year; increases flexibility in call

capacity; makes all 30,000 County phone numbers routable

through multiple gateways; and enables a suite of new

collaboration services.

VoIP and data objectives include:• Implement Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)

trunking to deliver telephone services

• Refresh access layer router for MPLS customer

edge sites

Goal 1: Improving the Capabilities of the Voice and Data Networks

• Complete phase II of IV of the access layer switch

refresh

• Deploy Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) at the

perimeter and design address plan

• Complete Phase II of WAN layer refresh –

complete new gear migration from Asynchronous

Transfer Mode (ATM) / Time Division Multiplexing

(TDM) infrastructure [smaller bandwidth, more

costly transport service] to AT&T Switched

Ethernet (ASE) circuit [larger bandwidth, more

cost efficient transport service]

• Implement network security structural

recommendations from security architecture

assessment

• Refresh Skype for Business infrastructure

• Purchase additional storage for Downtown

NetApp infrastructure (data storage)

• Refresh Branch Center NetApp infrastructure

• Refresh Airport virtual server infrastructure

• Upgrade media distribution system to enable

sharing media at workstations and conference

rooms

Twitchell Island TowerThe Sacramento River Delta provides goods, services, and drinking water to 22 million Californians. Interoperability is imperative to support emergency operations during natural disasters.

The State Department of Water Resources awarded SRRCS and four neighboring counties a grant to construct a radio tower on Twitchell Island in the Delta to improve public safety communication needs. The tower is now complete and fully operational. A regional Delta Interoperable Communications exercise was completed in April 2016.

The Sacramento Regional Radio Communications System

(SRRCS) is a region-wide public safety communications

system resulting from a twenty-year partnership of many

governmental jurisdictions that have collaborated and

shared resources to develop and operate a state of the

art public safety communication network.

In January 2013, SRRCS began an eight year transition

from the analog radio system to a new Project 25 (P25 or

APCO-25) compliant system. P25 is a suite of standards

for digital radio communications for use by federal,

state, and local public safety agencies in North America

to enable them to communicate with each other during

emergencies.

In March 2014, SRRCS completed the first phase of the

P25 transition project. This highly successful project

accomplished the most difficult part of the transition to

P25. The core infrastructure was upgraded along with

Our radio communication upgrade goals include:

• Continue P25 upgrade by adding

12 new channels

• Upgrade the Folsom radio site for P25

compliance

• Research/recommend alternatives for

relocating the Walnut Grove site and document

implementation plan

Goal 3: Upgrading Countywide Radio Communications Infrastructure

the installation of six new P25 compliant channels.

The major work of the upgrade is done with Phase I, and

now SRRCS will turn its attention to adding capacity to

the P25 compliant system. Phases II, III, IV and V of this

transition project will add an additional 24 channels to

the P25 system. At the completion of Phase V, the P25

system will have a total of 30 channels available. The

transition project will be complete by the end of 2022-

2023 fiscal year.

Focus Area 4: Ensure the County Operates in a Secured Technology Environment

Goal 1: Deliver IT Services in a Secure and Consistent Manner

In light of headline-grabbing information security breaches in the past few years, Sacramento County is on high

alert to protect our valuable information assets. Ever changing attack protocols require an adaptive multi-layered

defense strategy consisting of systems to protect the County’s perimeter, network, hosts, applications and data.

There is no silver bullet to prevent cyber-attacks; today’s cyber criminals are too persistent and adaptable to be

turned away by traditional counter measures. Our goal for the next year is to implement several programs to

enhance our information security posture.

• Implement phase I of privileged account management system (Active Directory accounts)

• Implement policy, staffing, and procedures recommended by security architecture assessment

• Roll out Mobile Iron mobile device management (MDM) countywide

• Roll out SacDrive (Kiteworks) countywide (Sacramento County cloud platform)

• Implement new countywide IT Acceptable Use Policy

• Complete Countywide IT security architecture assessment

Our organizational objectives include:

Focus Area 5: Support Community Outreach and Technology Enablement

Goal 1: Develop Partnerships with Community Organizations

The Department of Technology takes pride in

supporting community charities through the County

Employee Giving Campaign. In October 2013, at the

CIO’s direction, the department held its 1st annual

Charity Golf Tournament to benefit two local children’s

charities -- The Sacramento Children’s Home and The

Children’s Receiving Home. The event raised more

than $24,000 and more than 25 vendors sponsored the

sold out golf tournament at Sacramento County’s Ancil

Hoffman Golf Course. Building on the success of the

first event, the 2nd annual Charity Golf Tournament

garnered 30 vendors and raised more than $62,000 for

the same charities in October 2014. Last year, the event

brought in more than $71,000. This continued growth

and success provided the opportunity to give to two

additional organizations: Court Appointed Special

Advocates (CASA) and the robotics program at the

School of Science and Engineering. The 4th annual

Charity Golf Tournament is planned for October 2016.

For many years, County surplus computing equipment

could only be disposed of through a recycling program,

even if the equipment was still in working condition. In

2014, the Board of Supervisors approved a donation

program; now working surplus IT equipment finds a

second home in community school districts, special

districts, and public non-profit charitable organizations

after removing the hard drive to ensure the security

of County information and returning to original

manufacturer state. We look forward to continuing

this donation program with the Department of

General Services in the coming year.

In the past year, the department has focused

on outreach to local colleges and universities to

provide technology internship opportunities. Eight

student interns in the areas of technical writing,

programming, network engineering and GIS have

been hired. Two former interns also accepted full-

time IT Analyst positions with the County in the last

year. The students bring a fresh perspective to the

teams and perform valuable work for the County.

Our community outreach goals:

• Hold 4th Annual Charity Golf Tournament

to benefit children’s charities in Sacramento

County

• Continue to expand collaboration

opportunities with local high schools and

colleges
