The Bureau of Information Systems (IS), runs all major applications on an IBM AS/400 mainframe and Windows servers which are networked to all City departments. Wide area networking has been implemented using fiber, T-1s, and broadband connections. The Financial (GL-Pur-AP-AR-CR) applications are out-sourced, but IS supports their T-1 connectivity. The following AS400 applications are supported in-house: RPS3, payroll, timekeeping, assessment, tax billing and collection, housing code enforcement, police/fire scheduling and attendance, water billing, service requests, and several other smaller systems. The Bureau serves as the support center for office automation and networking. City-wide there are several Windows 2003/2008 servers. Besides file and print serving, there are client-server applications for: Email, sports, fleet, CAD, GIS, parking tickets, RPS4, and accounting. In addition, there are web-based applications for: the Citywide web pages, assessment/tax lookup, tax payments, water payments, complaint line, vacant houses, IS project management, Business Licenses, and several Community Development databases
