Department of Natural Resources and Conservation

Update: DNRC partnered with SITSD to pilot and implement ServiceNow, a comprehensive Service Desk and Service Management platform, integrated with SITSD. This led to the expansion of this platform to all Executive Branch agencies.

Update: DNRC did implement an improved new employee onboarding process with training, but for OIT initiatives DNRC largely was unable to offer IT training due to lack of personnel resources to offer this service.

Update: DNRC has enhanced the dissemination of information largely through the ArcGIS Online and web application, web services environment of GIS data. OIT also integrated O365 OneDrive and recently Teams to enhance collaboration across program personnel for their objectives.

Update: Still under development and implementation through ServiceNow.

Update: Both Water Resources Division and the Trust Lands Division completed business analysis; Forestry has one in the works but not yet scheduled.

Update: DNRC OIT has improved some minor governance practices, but this objective was largely focussed upon GIS and still has work to do to. The organization is a GIS heavy organization with over 70% of the department dependent on GIS technologies.

Update: The department continues to posture toward this technological capability, but has recognized that many programs are not ready to realize the vision of leveraging BI to enhance their programmatic efforts. Progress continues to develop at the programmatic level, however, and is dependent on key personnel to move programs forward in this realm.

Update: Many key applications have moved forward: MAPP for annual reviews, Sage Grouse Habitat Quantification, a new Trust Lands Management System is under development, a new Water Rights Information System is under development, and a new Fire Protection Assessment and F300 and F1000 are all underway or in progress.

Update: Delayed due to SITSD's delay by extending the MI contract and delayed release of a new eGOV RFP. Awaiting results to move forward with the platform for the future.

Update: Progress continues across the organization, largely dependent upon data owners to make their data healthy and available.

Update: The platform is under development with initial key dataset integrated and available for public consumption. A model development with the Forest Action Plan has identified the successful path moving forward, and plans are underway to expand this platform to the rest of the department.

Update: The OIT team worked heavily with the department to establish a UAS policy, and is currently leveraging an UAV to collect data and perform analysis to provide enhanced information at reduces cost for program needs, particularly Trust Lands and Water Resources.

Update: Key DR pieces are in place, particularly at the data level.

Update: A comprehensive review was conducted 4 years ago, and a draft plan developed. Lack of resources have prohibited completion and ongoing management except at the core essential levels.

Update: The OIT team facilitates annual cyber security training and works to keep department staff informed of security risks and issues, and protected from attack through active monitoring and device management.

Update: Remote departmental offices have received key bandwidth improvements; the department has deployed virtual desktops through SITSD for remote working where bandwidth permits and as needed. The department has moved primarily to mobile devices and virtual connectivity to the state network.

Update: The department established a CI/CD platform and deployed its first application into a containerized environment. Key staff were hired to facilitate the continual movement toward this platform and technology stack.

Update: Delayed. SITSD is currently migrating DNRC from Hyland to the IBM FileNet environment which is anticipated to be a successful platform for DNRC, as the Hyland platform DNRC was forced to adopt failed to allow DNRC to successfully scan and manage its water rights system.

Update: Successful in the GIS and Service Desk areas of OIT offerings. DNRC continues to look toward leveraging such best-in-class service offerings.

Update: Delayed. DNRC's migration to SCCM has progressed slowly, and the project is being redirected for the next biennium to the SITSD enterprise platform for SCCM. A pilot project is about to kick off with SITSD to integrate Asset tracking into the ServiceNow platform already established.
