Information Technology

In 2021, the Lillooet Tribal Council began the initiative of forming its internal IT Department to provide support services to staff and reduce dependency on external IT support contractors. The department has documented IT policies, implemented best practices and service management, standardized hardware and software throughout the organization, and upgraded the network environment to manage IT infrastructure in-house.

The IT Department has also formed an IT/Communications Committee to guide decision-making for the organization.

Services

  • Endpoint and network security
  • Organizational backup and disaster recovery plan
  • Service desk and end-user support
  • Ongoing staff training and education on security and software tools
  • Cost-per-user budgeting and forecasting for the next fiscal year

Future Vision

The department continuously collects metric reports to ensure sustainability for the internal IT Department, with the long-term goal of providing IT support for surrounding St’at’imc communities. This is an important step toward self-government for the St’at’imc Nation.
