OCIS oversees automation for Dutchess County Government. Our primary mission is to use computer technologies to provide services to some 37 departments in support of their efforts. We also work with local municipalities on countywide applications including Real Property Taxes and “IMAGIS”, our new GIS (Geographic Information Systems) Mapping system. Our recent, and perhaps most important, role is to head up the County’s e-Government development effort, which will provide Internet-based services to the public, businesses and other government agencies.
