The team develops, manages, tests, supports, maintains, and consults on applications including region shaping metropolitan planning systems, operationally focused finance and support systems, and public facing information sharing systems. Some of the current applications and technologies used include Microsoft Great Plains (GP), WorkPlace, Enterprise BI, Microsoft CRM, custom Inter-Government Review (IGR), custom Finance Management Systems (FMS), Microsoft Dynamics 365, ESRI ArcGIS, ArcGIS Online, ServiceNow, Microsoft SQL Server, SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), Power BI Report Server, and SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS).
