Agency Information Systems at DolTT February 2001
PREFACE
The Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications (DoITT) provides

state-of-the-art, cost-effective, and reliable data processing and data communications
services which are responsive to the business needs of New York City government.
DoITY's services and products support a technology infrastructure that enables City
agencies to increase productivity, improve service to the public, enhance revenue
collection, avoid costs, easily obtain information for better decision making, and fulfill
legislated mandates.
The Information Utility at DoITY's Technology Center at MetroTech consists of the

following technology platforms:
Enterprise Processors - State-of-the-art transactional, database, and batch OS/390

systems are provided on super servers with morethan 1000 MIPS of
processing power, 18 gigabytes of RAM, and almost 6 terabytes of attached
disk storage. Automated tape cartridge silos containing 75,000 tapes
perform, with robotic arms, mounts to 96 high-speed tape drives in less than
15 seconds.
Internet Web Server - The Internet Complex supports all mayoral agencies and
related web sites hosted on or linked through nyc.gov (accessed via the
www.nyc.govurl).Itis a high availability site with automated fail-over
capabilities including automated switch-over to an off-site mirror. Secure
transactions are facilitated by third-party certification authorities and point-to-
point tunneling technologies. Multi-media streaming in a variety of formats is
supported for delivery of high bandwidth audio and video content. The Internet
Complex delivers its content via redundant T-3 circuits to the greater Internet.
Client/Server Platform - DoITY's client/server computing platform delivers

services to other agencies that facilitate the deployment of innovative
technologies on the City's Intranet to enable secure electronic communications
within and across agencies like discussion forums, directory services and a
repository of web accessible internal applications. This platform also provides
infrastructure and application services for agencies to deploy Internet based
technologies that enable timely and efficient communications between citizens of
New York City and the municipal agencies.
e-Government Platform - DoITT has implemented an environment on OS/390

which is used to web-enable existing mainframe applications and can be used to
develop new e-government systems to bring city services and information to the
public via the Internet.
v
DoITT also provides a test and development environment for client agencies to use for
developing new applications, performing ongoing maintenance, and developing and
testing enhancements.
In addition to managing the Information Utility at MetroTech, DoITT manages and

supports CITYNET, New York City's data communication network. Through
CITYNET, DoITT supports most of the City's data communication traffic. Over 25 data
centers and more than 2,000 City locations supporting tens of thousands of users
throughout the five boroughs are attached to the network. DoITT provides these services
24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to over 65 City agencies.
vi
E-Government
The E-Government Office is currently in the process of developing the City's Intranet, to be known as "NYC
SHARE". Using our existing infrastructure, the Intranet will allow employees from multiple City agencies to
communicate, share information and collaborate in a new and improved manner. The Intranet is being
developed using the 8/390 as the central web server (Cityweb), which will then connect to agency specific
Intranet sites. This model allows the agencies to maintain responsibility for content and application
management, while providing employees with access to the information they require.

"Corridor", a product marketed by Esker U.S. and installed at DoITT, is a web-to-host gateway that provides
Internet access to data from legacy systems. It works by screen scraping CICS screens generated from
mainframe applications and converting them to Internet format. Selected fields can be displayed and
repositioned on the Internet screen. Any standard browser can be used to access this data via NYC's web site,
NYC.GOV.
The Department of Sanitation's recycling and garbage collection schedules are currently in production using
"Corridor". A user enters an address and the schedule is displayed.

E-Government
NYC.GOV, htnd/nyc.gov New York City's official web site, strives to provide the public with quick, easy
and 24/7 access to City agency infonnation, programs and services, using an array of new media technology.
NYC.GOV's focus is on customer service. Thus, it provides a wealth of information and access to
government at the citizen's convenience through a user-friendly portal, hundreds of on-line and downloadable
forms, database infonnation, and links to hundreds of external web sites about NYC. E-mail messages can be
sent to the Mayor and City officials, improving communication and producing more efficient and timely
responses to the public. Following our strategic vision, "Publish, Interact, Transact, Transform," NYC.GOV
strives to improve NYC's service delivery to the community by bringing government to the people.

E-GoverOlllent
NYCSERV is a major, multi-agency effort to provide the citizens of New York City with convenient access to
numerous government services. Begun in Spring 1998, it is a five-year undertaking that will be implemented
in a phased-in approach. When fully implemented, it will consolidate various citywide licensing, collections,
payment and adjudication Iimctions currently scattered throughout City agencies.
Access will be available through the NYC.GOV web site as well as via [YR, at kiosks, and at most City
agencies and payment centers. This e-govemrnent approach reduces the need for the public to corne to city
offices. Centralized business centers will be established in each borough to provide the related services. In
addition, the payment centers and kiosks "push" city offices out to the neighbothoods so services are closer to
the public.
Functions implemented as of February 2001 are:

NYC Property - provides the public with access to real property information maintained by the City's
Department of Finance (DOF) and water billing information maintained by the Department ofEnvironrnental
Protection (DEP).
ePennits - allows for City agencies and not-for-profit organizations to apply to the City's Department of
Transportation for parking permits.
Scofflow Assignments - provides calendaring management for city marshals and sheriffil.
Fairtax Inquiry - provides online access to property information in DOF's Fairtax application
PVO Inquiry - provides access to information regarding outstanding parking tickets and the ability to pay
parking tickets on the Internet by credit card.

Adult Justice Information System {AJIS}
In production since 1985, AJIS is a case tracking and management system

containing information on all cases prosecuted by the Office of the
District Attorney, New York County (DANY). It covers both criminal and
supreme court cases form arrest to disposition and sentencing and also
provides for real time retrieval of case schedules, court outcomes and
arrest histories. Its batch module generates both operational reports for
active cases, as well as statistical data used to analyze the effects of
enforcement and procedural strategies.
Interfaced since its inception with the New York City Police Department's
On-line Booking System, AJIS is now accessed by 15 other agencies on an
inquiry-only basis.
AJIS continues to serve as the fulcrum for case data distribution

throughout DANY, providing the core data for criminal complaints
generated by the Arrest to AJIS (ATA) system. And, thanks to a SQL
application introduced in June 1999, called DANY Case Information (DCI),
AJIS data can now be surfed by all Assistant District Attorneys (ADAs)
and investigative staff from their browser-equipped NT desktops. Soon,
AJIS operational reports (e.g., new arrest alerts) will be delivered by
DCI to ADAs via an e-mail interface.
AJIS was converted from COBOL to NATURAL in the early 1990s and was made
year 2000 compliant (expansion of date fields) in September 1999.

Information System (BXDA)
BXDA is a user friendly information system that was created to replace

the use of AJIS by the Bronx District Attorney's Office. This system
allows the Bronx DA to gather information on an individual defendant or
from a list of defendants based on the selection chosen by the user. Help
screens (windows I have been installed throughout the system to assist the
user whenever there is uncertainty as to which menu selection to choose
from. The screens are less cluttered than the AJIS screens and BXDA is
more flexible when it comes to designing or redesigning input/inquiry
screens. Security maintenance has also been made easier with the creation
of MIS Audit Reports menu screen listing user, terminal # and day/time of
job.
The Bronx DA has installed access to the BXDA application in all of the
various court parts located both in the Criminal Court and Supreme Court
buildings. This gives the Bronx DA more current and complete court
information, such as disposition, sentencing, defendant and witness data
on a more timely basis and provides the ability to create and update
cases.
Some of the special features are:

• Inquiry by case number Arrest ft, NYSID #, Docket ft,
Indictment #
• Phonetic name search - Defendant, Witness, Police Officer, ADA
• Caseload Menu designed specifically for ADA's to search
pending cases
• Witness Notification module

In accordance with Section 106(b) of the City Charter, the Mayor shall establish Quarterly Spending
Allotments and aggregate position and salary limits for each unit of appropriation within an agency. The
Quarterly Allocation System (QAS) is used to plan and monitor monthly spending by agency. Expenditure
plans are maintained by Personal Service (e.g. salaries, overtime, etc.) and Other Than Personal Services (e.g.
equipment, rent, etc.). Agencies are required to remain within their spending plan by unit of appropriation and
funding source. The QAS supports various fiscal monitoring exercises which include cashflow, variance
reporting and surplus/needs exercises.
Expenditure forecasts for the City's cashflow are prepared each month. Variance reports on dollars and
employee headcount are issued monthly to the agencies with a comparison between their actuals and plan.
Any overspending /underspending that has occurred must be explained by the agency. This system provides
early warnings on overspending and enables an agency to take corrective action. The surplus/needs analysis
projects variances for the remainder of the current fiscal year for each agency, and surpluses and needs are
balanced out across agencies to ensure that on an aggregate basis the City is within budget.
