Preface

Digital Strategic Plan: Findings & Recommendations

Preface The City of Berkeley (City) Digital Strategic Plan & Roadmap (DSP Roadmap) is the result of a comprehensive and thorough assessment of the City’s existing technologies, operational requirements and service delivery needs. This document reflects a business and technology strategy that is technologically strategic, operationally responsive, and fiscally responsible. It addresses the unique requirements of the mission critical business needs of the City and its constituents, visitors and business community as a whole.

The DSP Roadmap is the product of a collaborative effort with City management and staff who made valuable contributions throughout the project. A considerable focus was placed on addressing management, operational and technology challenges identified during the project; which are referred to as “Problem Statements” throughout this document. However, this report should not leave the impression that all ThirdWave assessed was problematic. Nothing could be further from the truth. ThirdWave observed numerous strengths at the City including the following:  The City has made significant investments in departmental and enterprise systems in the last several years. Most recently, the City implemented an OnBase Enterprise Document Management System and is currently going through the process to procure an Enterprise Resource Planning System, which will address a number of city-wide technology and business process needs.

 The City has a number of new members on its leadership team, which has infused the City with a fresh set of progressive perspectives. Many City department heads are exceedingly capable and share a common vision to enhance the City’s Information Technologies.  City staff have a strong level of professionalism, with a conscientious commitment to delivering exemplary services to the residents, businesses and visitors that visit the City of Berkeley.  The City is the recent recipient of a Rockefeller Foundation grant, which aligns most to goal #5 of the City’s Cyber and Infrastructure Resilience Strategy, related to improving major City Information Technology systems.  The City’s relatively new IT Director has brought a new level of energy and rigor to reshaping the IT organization, and the City’s Information technologies, into a highly responsive and innovative resource to City Departments and the Berkeley community. The DSP Roadmap focuses on improving the status quo and articulating a path for becoming an exceptional city, and is comprised of two complementary volumes: Volume 1: DSP Roadmap Finding & Recommendations, identifying a comprehensive set of possible management, business process improvement, and Information Technology initiatives (this document); and, Volume 2: DSP 5 Year Implementation Roadmap , providing the final proposed and prioritized initiatives, budget estimate, 5-year timeline, and Cost Allocation Plan for implementing the Roadmap (a separate document). The challenge of adopting, funding and implementing a DSP Roadmap is a formidable one. However, given its 5-year timeline, there is plenty of latitude to execute the technology initiatives identified in the DSP. The DSP Roadmap is a living document that can be (and should be) reviewed and adjusted on a yearly basis. It provides an opportunity for new, more efficient ways of providing services - coupled with strategic investments in technology . The cornerstone of the DSP Roadmap is to ensure that investments in strategic business technologies are sound and deliver the highest possible value to the City and its constituents. Additionally, the DSP Roadmap aligns with, and supports, the City of Berkeley’s Strategic Plan. Moreover, this document provides a wealth of data that can be leveraged over the next five years to facilitate excellence in municipal services, civic participation, and community wellbeing. We’d like to extend our appreciation to the City Council for supporting this important initiative, the City Manager, Department heads and staff at the City of Berkeley for their engagement and valuable input.

E.2 Project Goal & Objectives The goal of the DSP Roadmap and Cost Allocation Plan project is to create a five (5) year Digital Strategic Plan (DSP) employing a highly participatory process directly engaging City departments, staff, management, and the IT department. The objectives are to:  Connect technology resources, innovation, and initiatives to the City’s Strategic Planning Goals.

 Serve as the framework for how IT services are delivered throughout the City and ensure business technologies are sound and deliver the highest possible value to the City and its constituents  Define a clear set of goals, guiding principles, and strategic priorities for accomplishing the City’s objectives of Digital strategy, principles and implementation roadmap. The DSP Roadmap contains measurable objectives and will be the guiding document that shapes how the City delivers innovative and effective technology services throughout the organization and to the Berkeley community. E.3 Project Approach & Methodology The City of Berkeley DSP Roadmap project employed a comprehensive and structured “waterfall” best practice methodology. The project collected and synthesized various types of information, including:  Data on existing and planned Information Systems;  Focus Groups with IT staff and management;  Management Interviews with the City’s leadership team;  Online Staff Survey, to allow all City staff and management the opportunity to provide input into the project; and,  Twenty-six (26) Rapid Workflow ® business process analysis workshops addressing mission critical business functions for all City Departments. E.4 Digital Strategic Plan (DSP) Findings E 4.1 Organizational Context The City of Berkeley is a Charter City with a Council-Manager form of government. The Department of Information Technology (DoIT) provides services such as technology planning, technology procurement, network infrastructure/support services, helpdesk, data, telephone, GIS, application deployment and support, project management, database, security, administration, and a 311 Customer Service Center hotline available to over 1,400 employees including public safety, health services, as well as the general Berkeley community. DoIT is

staffed by 40.5 City employees. DoIT also provides Active Directory, Exchange, and telephone services to the Berkeley Public Library. The primary service facility is the Civic Center, in addition to approximately 42 remote sites. The previous Information Technology Master Plan was

developed in-house in 2009. E 4.2 Summary of Findings

Digital Strategic Plan: Findings & Recommendations © 2016 3 ThirdWave Corp 11400 W. Olympic Blvd. Suite 200 Los Angeles CA 90064 310.914.0186 V 310.312.9513 F The current IT Director has invested a considerable amount of effort to rationalize and control the City’s project portfolio, but prior to her tenure the absence of a formal IT Governance structure had led to more than 100 projects in various degrees of progress, with/without funding, or unrealistic project schedules. This has adversely impacted the The following provides a summary of key findings of the DSP Roadmap project: (Technical terms are defined in a glossary in Section 4 of this document.) The DSP Roadmap project identified hundreds of specific challenges; the items below list the top eight challenges facing the City of Berkeley. 1. The existing IT funding model, which is predicated by some positions funded by various City departments, is not working well. The current funding policy creates challenges for both department and the IT organization. Some departments feel as their needs are not sufficiently addressed, and resource allocation is problematic for the IT Director. The current mode is unsustainable. 2. The City lacks a contemporary networking/communications infrastructure. The City’s City-owned Fiber between downtown buildings was placed in 2000 and needs replacing and the City lacks reliable city-wide Wi-Fi capabilities. 3. The City IT has an acute lack of Project Management expertise. Poor project planning and a low percentage of projects delivered on schedule and/or budget is common. This has delayed the roll out of critical systems, in some cases, for years. 4. The City has a number of aging enterprise applications, which need upgrading or replacing. The City is in the process of procuring a new Enterprise Resource Planning system, which will provide significant functionality to a number of mission critical processes. However, there is still a significant need for enterprise systems across several City departments. 5. The City lacks numerous departmental application software. City staff identified a number of needed departmental applications to provide Berkeley residents the services they require. (Some of these applications were identified in the IT Master Plan developed by the City in 2009.) 6. The City IT organization lacks the expertise and capacity to support the implementation of current and new DSP Roadmap initiatives. The existing IT organization and operational model is not positioned to support existing projects, as well as those identified in the DSP; it lacks key knowledge, skills and abilities not required 10 or 20 years ago when many of the existing systems were deployed. There is strong need to invest in Technology training for IT and City staff. 7. The City does not have IT Governance policy or process.

ability to deliver badly needed technologies to City departments and has affected the IT organization’s credibility. 8. The City’s website design is dated, reflecting city websites from 2000 to 2005. The City’s website is dated and its maturity level is not comparable to other leading cities. The website navigation is inconsistent, the layout visually cluttered, and the Graphical User Interface is unfriendly. Moreover, and perhaps most significant, the City’s website is not focused on online service delivery. The existing IT business model, inherited by the recently hired IT Director, has resulted in a variety of systems and end user support challenges; and as noted by some staff and management, it is unsustainable. Given the tactical and strategic role Information Technology plays in effective and efficient municipal service delivery, the status quo acts as a barrier to making the best, most effective use of technology and limited City human resources. E 4.3 Summary Recommendations The DSP Roadmap project identified hundreds of specific actionable recommendations. The items below provide a summary of the top eight organizational and technical recommendations for the DSP Roadmap. 1. Adopt a redefined IT Cost/Budget Allocation Model: The optimization of City human and financial resources requires a redefinition of the existing IT cost/budget allocation model. New policies should include the following:  Adopt a cost allocation plan for IT staff and infrastructure costs.  Establish an Internal Service Fund to support existing and new infrastructure.  Implement an IT Service Management tool for help desk service request tracking, software and hardware asset management.  Communicate the plan to end users. 2. Update the City Fiber Network and implement City-wide Wi-Fi:  Carry out a Fiber Infrastructure and Wi-Fi Master Planning efforts.  Upgrade the City-owned fiber infrastructure.  Explore public/private partnerships for the implementation of public Wi-Fi and Fiber. 3. Adopt rigorous IT Project Management best practices for City IT efforts: Provide formal and rigorous Project Management best practice training to IT staff to ensure successful project delivery and effective support of City departments:  Adopt the Project Management Institute’s PMBOK™ (Project Management Body of Knowledge) project management methodology.  Implement project management software to support all Project Managers.  Resource sufficient Project Managers in DoIT to support the current and projected IT project portfolio over the next 5 years; create a Project Manager class specification if required to meet this need. 4. Replace aging enterprise applications: Build on the current Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) procurement with the evaluation and replacement of applications not in the initial ERP implementation phase: Focus on:

One of the requirements of the DSP project is to get an overarching view of planned IT initiatives. The figure on the following page provides a list of previously identified IT projects including infrastructure, department and enterprise application software projects. Some of the projects identified by the City during the current fiscal year and those identified in the course of the DSP project are duplicated. These two lists are reconciled and prioritized in Vol. II, DSP Roadmap. Moreover, the reconciled lists of IT initiatives are laid out over a 5-year timeline with corresponding budget estimates.
