DoIT Shared Services
Westchester County is committed to a robust shared services program designed to help municipalities, school districts, and other municipal entities save money, increase efficiency, and reduce duplication of services. The county’s Department of Information Technology (DoIT) provides many shared services and contracting opportunities, including but not limited to network management, graphic design and printing, eLearning licenses, cybersecurity services, and GIS-related services. See below for complete details regarding all available IT shared services and programs. We look forward to working with you and welcome your suggestions for additional services to consider offering in the future.

The Department of Emergency Services and DoIT developed a web-based Special Needs Registry to record information on individuals who would require assistance should an evacuation be ordered. Citizens can register directly online or they can call 211 to have an operator enter the data (using the same application) for them. Currently, the municipalities work with DES to get the list of registered individuals in their area, but soon, they will be able to accomplish this online without the assistance of DES.
- Environmentally protected archival storage vaults may be used to store a local government’s unique and intrinsically valuable records, accompanied by expert cataloging to promote improved public access. For example, the Bedford Town Clerk has a historic land deed from the late 1600s that was printed on vellum and is currently stored in our Archival vaults (a scanned copy of the deed was provided to them). Historically valuable municipal records benefit from enhanced security, fire protection, professional cataloging, and increased availability, without the municipalities having to provide these services themselves. Please Note: This is only for historical documents that are at least 75 years old to be stored in the Archives’ vaults. This does NOT include any kind of box storage in the Records Center for records with retention schedules that are created in the daily course of business.
