The Technology Services Department was created to provide technology support for all the County offices. 

The Technology Services Department started in 1982 with one employee and an IBM System 32 mid-range computer which was upgraded to an IBM System 36 soon after. 

In 1985, the County Board decided to expand the department, and in late 1985 hired a Director (then called a Data Processing Manager).  As time went on, the need for information technology expanded and more employees and systems were added.

Presently we have 5 employee positions and manage over 250 personal computer with 8 servers.  We maintain an IBM I-Series server for the following systems: Real Estate Property Tax System, Financial Systems, Economic Interest System, Asset Inventory Management System, Public Defender Client Database System and a Coroner Information Database System.  The Technology Services Department also uses the AS400 to track and document work orders for the Technology Services Department.

Our use of personal computer platforms has exploded with over 250 personal computers, both stand alone and networked.  We utilize Windows XP and Windows 7 operating systems.

We have completed the task of networking most of the Vermilion County government departments to be able to provide each user with high-speed internet access and e-mail.

Our services, for the most part are offered free of charge to all Vermilion County government offices. Please review our SERVICES page to get an idea of the wide range of services we provide.
