Summary
City Council on July 12, 13, 14 and 15, 2016, referred Motion MM20.9 to the Government Management Committee.
Rapidly evolving technological advances in both the private and public sectors require efficient, responsive and current Information Technology platforms in order to ensure that organizations and institutions are well positioned to meet the challenges of emerging technologies while ensuring that they are effectively serving their clients. The City of Toronto has a multitude of divisions, agencies and organizational matrices that offer a wide range of support, and services both internally and externally. Many private and public sector agencies have identified the importance of ensuring that their information technology platforms are operating efficiently and responsively and have undertaken comprehensive reviews of their systems. The City of Toronto would be well served with such a review undertaken by an outside Information Technology provider best equipped to conduct an impartial assessment with subsequent specific recommendations.
