Information is the lifeblood that flows through city government, and IT provides the pumping and circulation.
Information is sent from large IT file servers, out through the network, where it appears on a plethora of screens and reports. The Application Systems team is in charge of maintaining the programs that make this happen.

- Financial Fund Accounting and Budgeting
