City of Beckley

The main overall responsibility of the Beckley Information Technology Services department is to manage the technology infrastructure of the City of Beckley. In order to do this, we constantly analyze the technology needs of the individual departments and recommend solutions. We must remain current on technology issues and trends to evaluate how changes in the industry will impact City operations. BITS is responsible for managing a citywide network consisting of 17 locations and hundreds of servers, workstations, laptops, and mobile units. Agreements with several outside agencies allow us to provide them with remote access to various law enforcement services. We support a large mix of applications and databases, ensure licensing compliance for all software citywide, establish and verify hardware and software standards and compatibility, and establish, manage, and verify user and systems security.
