Technology Adoption

The County will adopt technology using a “fast follower” profile for systems of record (bimodal mode 1) and will consider early adoption for systems of innovation and differentiation (bimodal mode 2). 

Rationale:

A bimodal approach to technology adoption will allow the County to drive innovative, state of the art technology solutions in balance with managing costs and risks.

Implications:

· The County will be quick to adopt proven technologies

· The County will consider technologies closer to the bleeding edge for innovative business solutions and areas where technical currency is a key driving factor.
