Attachment 4: Year End Report from InformationTechnology Section 2011 was a busy year. There were a number of major implementations that took place last year, some planned and some unplanned. The projects listed below that IT has identified as working on, were scheduled for 2011. Because they are minimal to zero impact on the budget or they were dollars that were allocated through reserves these were pushed into 2012. The first project of 2011 was the Great Plains upgrade to Version 10 then Version 2010 (GP11). With this upgrade additional training was required in Microsoft SQL (pronounced see-quel) 2008 and Server 2008 R2. Microsoft SQL Server 2008 was installed to handle the new version of Great Plains. Great Plains versions, 10 and 2010 were not compatible with Microsoft SQL 2000. This then allowed the General Ledger Conversion to be completed with our financial vendor. Another project was the upgrade of machines in the YTLC and the TVDSB Lab. These machines require that an image be built that only allows students and youth to be able to do a certain amount of activities on the machines. We also segregated the Fusion Network to have staff utilize the Land Line circuit between the Town Hall and the Fusion Centre. The YTLC, Radio Booths, TVDSB Lab and Recording studio utilize an ADSL circuit through the Counties WAN provider, PacketWorks. This improved network latency for both sides of the centre. All network switches were replaced in town buildings except Public Works. Two phone systems were also implemented, one at Victoria Park Community Centre and Fire Hall. The network was rewired at Victoria Park and a data center was created in the upstairs maintenance room to alleviate the congestion in the Electrical Room on the main floor. This removed the data center from under a desk giving service staff easier access to the Local Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN) equipment. With this move we were able to connect a higher speed radio circuit from the center to the Town Hall via the Water Tower. The old circuit was only providing 1 megabit of data transmitting and receiving where now the speed tests are showing 5.5 megabit circuit receiving and 3.7 megabit circuit transmitting. IT Staff was also involved in the ROC Project to implement High Speed Network access to Oxford County and a point of contact for this service for the town. This $3,000,000 project is in the final phase which is the erection of the Zorra Tower. The final leg of the project will provide a service to unserviced areas around the Ingersoll area. End date of the project is March 2012. Staff also attended the Annual Municipal Information Systems Association (MISA) Conference in Toronto and the MISA Security Conference in October. 10
