The Information Technology department identifies, designs, and implements strategic technology deployments throughout the city, facilitating the operation of the departments that provide services to our ultimate customers – the citizens.

The department operates and maintains critical infrastructure, systems, and applications using best practices and support processes with the goal of providing stable, secure, and cost-effective technology services.

I.T. collaborates with all departments at the city as well as with other governmental agencies to facilitate the secure sharing of data and in cases of emergency response. This includes critical mapping and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) services used throughout at the City of Venice and neighboring regions, published via the Open Data Hub.

While the department does not have application developers on staff, it oversee the review, acquisition, and support processes of all software systems.

With an eye to the future, the department is working to identify emerging technologies and innovations that help reduce the resources used to operate this beautiful city, like smart lighting and smart water utilization, to name a few.
