What We Do

The Information Services Agency (ISA) enables 45+ local government agencies and

departments to achieve each of their individual missions through technology solutions. To be

successful, ISA aligns its objectives with the business needs of City/County partners, in order

to provide accessible and reliable services to local citizens, visitors and businesses.

2018 Annual Report | 4

Information Technology Board

Mission:

Vision: To be regarded as the trusted technology advisor to our partners

To provide our partners with exceptional technology services

ISA is governed by the Information Technology Board (IT Board) as outlined in Section 281-

201 of the Indianapolis – Marion County Code of Ordinances. The IT Board establishes IT

guidelines, standards and policies for the City/County enterprise. In addition, the IT Board

reviews and approves all major IT contracts, reviews all IT budgets, studies and evaluates

any and all IT needs of the City/County and may delegate any functions to the Chief

Information Officer as determined by the Board.

The IT Board is made up of nine members, with three being appointed by the Mayor. Of the

Mayor’s appointees, two are city officers, one representing a public safety agency and the

other representing a public service agency. Additionally, the Mayor appoints one of two

outside representatives with senior management experience, including IT authority in an

organization within Marion County of a similar size and scope as the City/County. The other

representative is appointed by the Council. The remaining members of the Board include

the Marion County Assessor, three of the four County constitutional officeholders (The

Auditor, Clerk, Sheriff, or Treasurer), and a Judicial representative appointed by the

presiding Judge of the Marion Superior Court.

What We Do

2018 Overview

2018 was spent further defining what ISA can do as a trusted advisor within the enterprise. With Shift Indy

kicking-off the year prior, digital government was a key focus for many projects. Despite focusing many

resources to the website initiative, major advancements were made in planning our data center migration,

as well as impactful system upgrades, implementations and policy development.

New Faces, New Roles

The Information Services Agency has sought a Chief Technology Officer for many years. With the

everchanging technology landscape, it’s important to have an individual thinking about the future of ISA and

its offerings to the enterprise. In May 2018, ISA hired Clark Giles to fill this pivotal role. The Chief

Technology Officer is also charged with developing a structured security program for the agency. This

includes developing sound, industry-approved security polices, and reviewing and implementing critical

security solutions.

Elliott Patrick, Chief Financial Officer, was promoted to the role of Chief Operating Officer in July 2018,

while also tending to Chief Financial Officer duties. Elliott’s knowledge of the agency from his time as a

Business Services Consultant, to his role as Chief Financial Officer, made an easy transition for all staff. In

August 2018, Ed Klaunig, formerly Contracts Administrator, came back to ISA to fill the Chief Financial

Officer role.

In February 2018, the Information Services Agency hired its first Technology Training Administrator. Alice

Taylor joined the agency to help spread awareness and education of key enterprise systems and their

processes. Training has been a crucial need in the enterprise for many years, often a shared responsibility

between Human Resources and ISA. We believe this position will continue to add value to the enterprise for

many years to come.

The Energy to Move Forward

With many new faces and new roles in place, it was time to begin delivering on the Strategic Plan we

published in 2017. There is no doubt the Shift Indy initiative and website transformation was at the forefront

of our 2018 deliverables. However, there was plenty of internal-facing work being accomplished as well.

In April 2018, the IT Board approved over $6.2 million in resolutions to move the current City/County data

center to a new location. The planning for a new site took many months, but ISA found a fantastic partner in

the State of Indiana. By co-locating in their data center and moving to hyper-converged infrastructure, ISA

will be able to shrink the current footprint significantly and for 25% of the cost of our private sector options.

We plan to finalize this project in 2019.

In addition to planning for a major infrastructure move, the agency excelled with almost 100 agency and

department-focused projects, several system upgrades, many application decommissions and more.

This annual report will highlight a year of strong advancements. Through agency initiatives, financial

proficiency and effective agency and department partnerships, ISA took a step forward in making lasting

changes to the City/County IT landscape.

There is no doubt, 2018 was an exceptional year for the Information Services

Agency. Internally, the agency reinstituted cross-organization functional groups to

discuss how we could better utilize technology to serve citizens. As Chief Information

Officer, I began meeting with the Information Technology Advisory Committee,

allowing me to learn more from our partners about their needs and challenges and to

discuss how our agency can address them. We also kicked off the project to move

the City/County’s 40+ year old data center, forming a partnership with the State of

Indiana to host our new, modern technology infrastructure – a project also supporting

the future move of our criminal justice partners to the new Criminal Justice Campus.

And our most transformational project of all was the Shift Indy Initiative, launched in

2017 and completed in 2018, which received local and even national recognition.

Shift Indy was created with a clear focus to better serve our citizens. The premier

project, of course, was the redesign of Indy.gov to be our digital city hall – an

accessible, mobile-friendly face of our local government. We spent the year working

with every city office and department, county agency and court as well as the City-

County Council to make sure their constituent needs were met. And we pushed hard

to get our local government partners to think about simplifying processes where

possible for our citizens. With the County Auditor, we saw 14,818 deduction requests

come through Indy.gov in 2018, eliminating trips to the City-County Building or

unnecessary postage or faxes (yes, faxes!). Similar results were felt with public

information requests, requests for extra patrols, searching for campaign finance

reports and much more.

The recognition for our approach to digital city hall was overwhelming. Shift Indy was

awarded the Local Government Cooperation Award from the Indiana Association of

Counties, the TechPoint “Best of Tech in Indiana” Mira Award for Corporate

Innovator of the Year and named a finalist amongst all U.S. cities in the Center for

Digital Government’s Government Experience Awards.

After all of this hard work and excitement, we finished up 2018 by asking our partner

agencies and departments to rate how they feel ISA is doing in our fourth

consecutive annual survey. The results of our surveys from 2015-2018 speak for

themselves. Our overall satisfaction has moved from 73% in 2015 to 90% overall

satisfied in 2018. It makes us proud to know our partners see we are working for

them and the citizens we all collectively serve.

Even with all the success, ISA knows 2019 isn’t a time to rest on our laurels. We see

2019 as a chance to take advantage of our credibility with our partners and push for

even more transformational change. We look forward to laying out our vision for

digital government first in the Indy 3.0 Technology Transformation Report and

subsequently in a new technology strategic plan for Indianapolis and Marion County.

Building on our successes, we will continue to be a trusted adviser to our partners.

We are humbled to get the chance to continue working on behalf of our constituents.

What We Did

ISA completed several projects in 2018 that positively impacted the

City/County IT environment and business processes of our partner agencies

and departments. The following section highlights 2018 enterprise projects,

both strategic and maintenance. A list of all partner-focused projects can be

found in Appendix A.

Strategic Projects

Maintenance Projects

With the release of the IT Strategic Plan and project roadmap in 2017, ISA

focused much of 2018 on planning and delivering strategic projects.

Throughout the ‘What We Did’ section, this dark blue bar will label those

strategic projects.

While we would love to spend our days thinking future-state and planning for

the future of IT in government, we do have an obligation as IT service provider

to the enterprise. This means several projects happened in 2018 that were

critical to our environment, but not the overall strategy of the agency.

Throughout the ‘What We Did’ section, this light blue bar will label those

maintenance projects.

What We Did

In April 2017, ISA announced the two-year Shift Indy initiative, which aimed to make city and county

government services more accessible and efficient for all constituents.

In planning this initiative, ISA met with every single agency and department to gather their requirements.

The team captured current services, desired services, current technology and the lack thereof; eventually

compiling a list of over 1,000 items. Externally, ISA convened with local businesses, civic associations

and non-profit organizations to gather requirements from those perspectives. The result, was an

expansive list used to engage an internal steering committee and develop guiding principles to navigate

the initiative forward.

Throughout 2017 and 2018, ISA worked to build my.indy.gov, a pilot site for the new, digital city hall.

Adoption of the platform grew steadily as new services became available. By the end of 2018, there were

60+ services available for citizens, a mix of new and replacement solutions. One major tenet of this project

was the review and revision of all City/County content. After months of work, the Shift Indy team published

all new content for each agency and department. This process reduced overall site content by almost

60%, removing ancillary and unnecessary information. In early 2019, the my.indy.gov pilot site

transitioned to take over indy.gov – becoming the digital city hall for Indianapolis & Marion County.

The Shift Indy initiative was recognized for multiple awards in 2018, including the TechPoint ‘Corporate

Innovator of the Year’, a Government Experience Awards finalist at the Center for Digital Government’s

annual event, and winner of the Local Government Cooperation Award from the Indiana Association of

Counties.

The progress of this initiative and the new indy.gov has shifted the mindset of City/County leadership and

their employees. There is excitement around the idea of a new model of service and a new way to

engage. This digital transformation is breaking down the silos dividing city, county, agency and

department, and providing constituents, businesses and visitors the local government they deserve.

The city and county provide several services to citizens that should be easy to research, request and

review. In 2018, ISA published six ‘Find my’ services. These allow citizens to search and their mayor’s

neighborhood advocates, recycling days, trash days, government jurisdictions, school districts and police

districts. These are some of the core services offered by local government and should be readily available

to our users.

‘Find My’ Services

2018 Annual Report | 10

Write the Mayor

Many of the current Mayor’s Office forms have been

updated – externally-facing and within the backend

systems – to create a streamlined experience for both

the citizen and the employee fielding requests.

Constituents can now use this easy service to write

Mayor Joe Hogsett and his team.

Property Tax Payments

Property Appeals

Property taxes are due in May and November in Marion

County, but the work done to manage billing, payments and

the entire property tax process is conducted throughout the

entire year.

ISA worked with the Treasurer’s Office to integrate property

tax payments into the Indy.gov site, eliminating the need to

visit the building to pay tax bills. Additional services and

enhancements within the property tax process have

improved overall engagement with Marion County citizens.

The objective and subjective appeal process allows homeowners to appeal changes to their property

assessment. This leads to an informal and formal hearing. This process has traditionally been manual,

offering little confirmation to residents and creating lengthy wait times for submitters as well as reviewers.

The new service has created an easy-to-use front-end for users to submit their appeals. It gives the

homeowners of Marion County a simple, transparent way to engage with their local government and

appropriately evaluate their assessments and property tax bills.

IMPD Engagement

File a Complaint

on an IMPD Officer

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department is committed to regular outreach and engagement with

the community. Four new services; Request the Police Chief at an Event, Request an IMPD Community

Appearance, Request an IMPD Ride-Along, and Submit a Police Compliment make it easier for citizens to

engage. IMPD rolled-out the Ask for Extra Patrols and Submit a Traffic Complaint services in 2017.

Transparency is one of the most foundational tenets of any police force. The Citizens’ Police Complaint

Office (CPCO) was created 29 years ago to operate as an independent, unbiased entity to collect and

process feedback as it pertains to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. Creating a digital “File

a Complaint on an IMPD Officer” form allows CPCO to gather this information in an efficient, user-friendly

manner – expediting the process for intake and evaluation.

City-County Council

Proposals

Contest a Parking Citation

Report Fraud,

Waste and Abuse

The City-County Council votes on legislation every month that shapes Indianapolis & Marion County.

It’s important all citizens have an opportunity to view and learn more about the proposals in front of

their representatives. The new proposal search allows users to easily find current and archived

proposals from full council and committee meetings.

Like many cities, Indy has two kinds of parking citations:

metered and non-metered tickets, for things like parking in

front of a fire hydrant. If a constituent wants to contest their

parking ticket, these different ticket types are handled by

two different agencies.

Now a resident can easily find and complete the form to

contest a parking ticket entirely online. Many people even

contest their ticket from their cell phones in the same hour

they receive the citation. The online form makes sure

everything is valid before they submit. As soon as someone

submits their form, an email confirmation lets them know it

was received, and routes their request to the right agency.

Instances of fraud, waste, and abuse reduce the quality of City-

County services. A few warning signs of fraud, waste, and abuse

include; someone who appears to be living beyond their means or

someone who has access to cash/funds without another person’s

approval or supervision. This form allows users to anonymously

report these instances for further investigation.

Election Board Services

RequestIndy Services

The Marion County Election Board received two major digital services in 2018: the Search Campaign

Finance Records tool, which allows users to dive in to candidate financial documents, and a new Election

Results display, providing real-time, mobile-friendly election results to Marion County citizens. Both tools

expand transparency into the electoral system and allow citizens to engage whenever and wherever they

want.

RequestIndy is the interactive tool that allows Indianapolis & Marion County citizens to report issues and

request city services. Examples include: Report a Pothole, Report a Stray Animal, Report an Unsafe

Building, or Request a Streetlight. ISA created filtered entry-points for each of the main requests received

through the RequestIndy application. This allows users to find what they need – regardless if they

remember the RequestIndy shortcut, or simply search for that service on the Indy.gov site.

Appropriateness

Apply to Foster an Animal

Update Attorney Information

Before you make exterior changes, build, or demolish a

building, or need a zoning variance or rezoning of a

property in an Indianapolis Historic Preservation

Commission (IHPC) historic district, you are required to

apply for a certificate of appropriateness (COA). A COA

shows the IHPC has approved your proposed changes.

Homeowners can now use this form to apply for a COA.

Indianapolis Animal Care Services (IACS) is an

agency that sees regular interaction with the public.

Be it at the Indianapolis animal shelter, or through the

day-to-day actions of their animal control officers.

By creating more digital endpoints for this agency, we

create greater efficiency in the work they do, as well

as greater engagement from the public. The ‘Apply to

Foster an Animal’ form is one way IACS can now

engage with local animal lovers.

Users can complete this form to update attorney information within

the Odyssey Court Case Management System. Odyssey is a

database that connects over 2 million court cases throughout

Indiana. State and local agencies can access cases in this

database.

Redemption Services

A property owner has the opportunity to pay what they owe and reclaim their property after it has been sold

in a tax sale. This is known as ‘redemption’. Taxes, special assessments, and other charges that occur

after the sale must be paid as part of the redemption amount. The ‘Find Property Redemption Amount’

service shows how much someone must pay the Treasurer in order to redeem their property. The ‘Sold

Parcel Finder’ is used to search for properties sold in a tax sale.

2018 Annual Report | 16

Over 300,000 pieces of mail are sent in relation to

property taxes. In many cases, citizens are receiving

multiple mailings for joint properties. Now, property

owners can easily request their adjacent properties be

combined in a single parcel. Not only does this save

stamps, it saves property owners the headache of

multiple bills.

This is one of many property and property tax-related

services that helps improve the overall experience for

Marion County residents.

What We Did

IT Governance (Ongoing)

The IT Governance policy was passed unanimously by the IT Board in June 2017. This policy enacted

what is currently documented in municipal code; that ISA shall facilitate an IT governance process with no

less than five ‘teams’ and an overarching body of representatives.

ISA established five IT functional groups: Public Safety, Justice, Administration & Finance, Property &

Land Management and Constituent Services. Each of these groups has a chairperson to facilitate the

meetings and represent their member’s interests on the Information Technology Advisory Committee

(ITAC).

The first round of introductions took place in December 2017, but the real work began in 2018. These

groups reviewed and approved an Email Retention Policy, a Hardware Management Policy, a new

Enterprise Password Policy, and revised the standing Enterprise Acceptable Use Policy. Furthermore,

these groups found a space to discuss their IT needs, as well as their everyday overlap – be it in legal

code, operational process or systems.

CommandCentral

Implementation

2018 Annual Report | 17

In partnership with IMPD and Mayor Hogsett’s recent investments in

public safety and public safety technology, ISA invested $1.8 million

over 10 years for CommandCentral – a suite of real-time crime analysis

products that integrate seamlessly into the new CAD/RMS.

Investments in these solutions allows IMPD to leverage existing data

and take a step forward towards intelligence-led policing. The

City/County has a wealth of beneficial data – from abandoned housing,

to the status of released offenders. By integrating applicable datasets,

IMPD has the opportunity to tap in to all possible leads, providing

dispatch and officers on the street real-time information and increasing

the ability to quickly and safely solve crime and protect our community.

Page 19: Information Services Agency · 2019-04-23 · We plan to finalize this project in 2019. In addition to planning for a major infrastructure move, the agency excelled with almost 100

What We Did

Enterprise Security Charter

Enterprise security is something ISA has to manage and improve every day. Anywhere from 10,000 to

15,000 malicious emails sent to City/County users every month. The tools ISA has in place block them

96% of the time, prior to ever reaching a user. The tool has also blocked 300+ malicious URLs within

SPAM emails. But security reaches much further than City/County email – it addresses standards for tools

and systems within our environment, it requires established benchmarks and standards regarding

enterprise data. In March 2018, the Information Technology Board passed a commitment to an Enterprise

Security Charter. This confirms the importance of security within our technology landscape, and

empowers ISA to continue working towards a more secure environment.

Email Retention Policy

The Information Services Agency has attempted to approve email retention standards for the last

five years. With the help of the IT Functional Groups, ISA in partnership with the Office of

Corporation Counsel, was able to gather feedback and produce a policy to reign-in decades of email

storage.

The Email Retention Policy sets guidelines for maintaining email correspondence for a five-year

retention period, in adherence with the Indiana Archives and Records Administration’s (“IARA’s”)

County/Local Government General Retention Schedule. After that five-year period, non-exempted

emails will be destroyed. With decades’ worth of email in our storage, there’s quite a lot to review.

To ensure agencies and departments have adequate time to preserve required correspondence,

ISA has planned a phased destruction process.

What We Did

Hardware

Management Policy

ISA manages the lifecycle and replacement of City/County hardware, which is important to maintain a secure

and efficient technology environment. Hardware includes the laptop or PC sitting on a user’s desk, servers,

storage, routers, switches and even wireless access points.

This policy establishes a clear strategy to refreshing and maintaining enterprise IT equipment. It applies to all

computers leased and owned by ISA, or other computers procured by customers and added to the PC

Refresh Program; all ISA owned and leased network equipment utilized in the City/County environment,

including all wireless access points, routers and switches; and all ISA and City/County fully managed servers

and storage in the City/County environment. This policy was approved in April 2018.

Acceptable Use Policy

Organizations have to establish Acceptable Use criteria – be it the use of devices, the network, social

media, or all of the above. ISA has had several Acceptable Use policies over the year, with the most

recent approved in 2015. Three years later, we felt it was a perfect opportunity for our IT Functional

Groups to weigh-in on what was (and wasn’t) acceptable for our enterprise users.

The newest Acceptable Use Policy was published in November 2018. The review included a deeper look

at what was necessary for the security of the network and the integrity of our equipment, and what

language was simply serving as general guidelines. The result is a policy that only enforces what ISA

believes to be crucial to our security and hardware longevity, as well as encouraging all agencies to

create their own, agency-specific Acceptable Use policies.

What We Did

Accela Upgrade

A planned Accela upgrade has been in the works for a few years. However, in April 2017, the upgrade to

Accela 9.0 officially became a project. In October 2018, over one year later, the upgrade was complete.

This project involved multiple City/County partners, including Department of Business of Neighborhood

Services, Department of Metropolitan Development, the Indianapolis Historical Preservation Committee

and Health & Hospital Corporation.

Accela 9.0 comes with an upgraded Accela Citizens Access Portal. This portal can now better serve

citizens of Indianapolis looking for updates on permits and licenses, as well as a variety of inspections

around the city. This upgrade also comes with an updated user interface for city employees, allowing

increased workflow efficiency. Accela 9.0 brings city staff the ability to use advanced field tools such as

Accela Mobile, and the opportunity for advanced map views of cases and permits with the Accela Civic

Insight tool.

IFD Kronos Upgrade

& Enhancement

The Kronos suite is a timekeeping & scheduling system within our enterprise, which augments our Human

Resources system. Its timekeeping and scheduling solutions are currently in mixed-use among the

Department of Public Works, the Department of Business & Neighborhood Services (including Animal

Care Services), and the Indianapolis Fire Department. The Indianapolis Fire Department has used the

TeleStaff solution for many years as a scheduling system for staff.

In May 2018, the Indianapolis Fire Department went live with Workforce Central (WFC) to review and

approve timesheets, manage time off & clock in from their mobile devices at their stations. This is a major

advancement for IFD and its staff and allows their staff to decrease time spent on their computers doing

administrative work and allowing more time to serve citizens. Additionally, by going live with WFC in

tandem with Telestaff, they will be able to better leverage both products for increased overtime savings.

Many hours were spent combing through data and reviewing key payroll processes to ensure not only a

smooth transition, but also more efficient timekeeping going forward.

What We Heard

ISA evaluates satisfaction by surveying users in two ways: upon completion of ISA Service Desk

tickets and through an annual survey focused on all ISA divisions. Overall scores in both methods

remained above industry standards, compared to 2016 and 2017 results.

Monthly Ticket Feedback

Feedback is collected and organized every month for the Information Technology Board. The following

charts depict 2018 customer satisfaction as it pertains to overall score.

The overall satisfaction score for 2018 averaged 4.79 out of 5 or 96%. According to a 2016 Gartner article,

Monthly Ticket Feedback

Feedback is collected and organized every month for the Information Technology Board. The

following charts depict 2018 customer satisfaction as it pertains to return rate.

According to a 2015 Gartner analysis on measuring satisfaction, transaction-based surveys may only

achieve a 5% to 10% response rate1. Our post-ticket survey returned an average of 16.5% responses every

month. While a higher return rate is preferred, it is positive to be above industry standards. Out of 40,280

eligible surveys in 2018, 6,669 were returned.

Annual Survey

ISA provides an annual survey to all City/County employees at the end of the 4th quarter. This survey was

implemented in 2015 and the questions have remained predominately unchanged in order to compare

results year over year. Minor alterations in 2018 included additional questions regarding remote

workspaces and network availability.

ISA saw an increase of overall satisfaction by 1% from 2017. A total of 90% of respondents were ‘satisfied’

or ‘overall satisfied’ with ISA service last year. This question has seen an annual increase in satisfaction

since receiving 73% overall satisfaction in 2015.

The full 2018 results are available in Appendix B.

What We Invested

2018 Financial Overview

In 2018, ISA looked for unique ways to kickoff even more enterprise IT projects while continuing to

manage within its budget. Cost cutting measures over many years have resulted in sustained savings to

ISA budgets. The pay-for-what-you-use chargeback model has pushed agencies and departments to

decommission legacy applications, return unused computers and disable network accounts more quickly.

Additionally, ISA pushed to further review large vendor contracts and found significant savings, which will

save budget dollars well into the future.

In keeping with the IT Strategic Plan kicked off in 2017, ISA used savings to fund two of its large

strategic initiatives. First, ISA kicked-off planning for the data center migration. After reviewing options for

data centers, connectivity and hardware, ISA solidified a plan and funded the initiative through a series of

contracts utilizing 2018 budget dollars. Second, ISA bid, awarded and funded the data dashboard

initiative. These consulting services will allow the City/County to utilize enterprise-level tools to visualize

and better understand its data. The resulting intelligence will allow agencies and departments to better

serve our constituents.

Budget Results

As seen in the next two pages, ISA came in well under its proposed expense budget and balanced this

with lower revenue. This results in a minimal decrease in the ISA fund balance, and allowed the agency

to return over $1 million to agency and department budgets. The additional dollars in agency and

department budgets helped shore up City and County fund balances and, for some agencies and

departments, allowed them to use the additional budget in other ways.

The underspend in Character 1 highlights ISA’s continued difficulty with hiring, which can be attributed to

three specific issues. First, technology positions in the Indianapolis market are more competitive to hire.

Local government will not be a top tier choice when competing with our large, local tech companies such

as Salesforce and Infosys. Second, the pay scale in technology in City/County government continues to

bring challenges to enticing top candidates to ISA. This requires ISA to contract for much of its technical

staff as opposed to insourcing. Lastly, the time it takes for leadership in ISA to work through rewriting,

grading, posting and recruiting for technology positions continues to be taxing on staff. While in many

enterprises of our size, staff would be dedicated to this type of work, at the City/County this work must be

taken on by top-level leadership within the agency.

The actual versus budgeted revenue highlights some additional challenges for ISA. The chargeback

budgets for agencies and departments are created each year up to seven months in advance. With

technology changing so constantly, this can make planning difficult for not only ISA but the agencies and

departments as well. In order to ensure the agencies and departments have sufficient budget, ISA must

submit high-mark chargeback budgets for each. Additional pressure to keep ISA’s overall revenue equal

to its expense budget results in billed revenue lagging budgeted revenue. Over many years, this will

improve and budgets will be more accurate. However, ISA must continue to fine tune chargeback

budgets and rely more heavily on outside revenue in the future to keep fund balances at its target of 10%

of overall budget.
