Information Technology

 It is the responsibility of the IT department to maintain the City's infrastructure, PCs, various software and database applications and other related peripherals (such as printers, scanners, copiers, etc.).  Working in conjunction with all City departments, the IT department utilizes the latest in technology to better provide pertinent information to City management and the citizens of East Providence in a comprehensive and cost-effective manner.

In the last few years, the IT department has replaced many components to the City's network (such as routers, switches, and a firewall).  A new spam filter was also installed to protect the City's network from viruses.  An on-line Citizens request package was also installed to better service our residents.  Working with all departments, a new website was also unveiled that allowed the City to incorporate a search tool, sitemap, newsletters, and surveys.
