BACKGROUND: Near the end of 2005, the Department of Technology engaged in the purchase of new equipment, from Unisys Corporation, associated with mainframe servers (Libra system), which allow the Department to analyze; examine; integrate and process the city's payroll/personnel, Police and LEADS (Law Enforcement Agencies Data System) applications, along with other applications necessary for daily operations.
