Information Technology: Opportunities

Environmental Assessment
Area Current State Assessment Opportunities
Network unable to support bandwidth requirements of future initiatives; fiber infrastructure and expansion IT security improvements needed - start with a risk assessment Applications functionally specific; some obsolete systems Almost every SFMTA initiative has IT components Heterogeneous application environment limits ability to add further capabilities and gain insight from information Focus on business process and total system is missing Limited resources and expertise to implement integrated systems and to support existing systems Difficulty in operationalizing existing systems IT must be systematically implemented (data, process, people) Turn data to information Projects have limited linkage to business benefits Limited guidance on project relevance to business impact value Significant opportunity to establish prioritization for more effective use of IT resources Leverage Governance to set priorities and drive return on investment
