The MIS Department was created in 1999 to provide technical support to Town employees and to act as a focal point for future technological improvements and initiatives. Although MIS does not directly support the citizens of Mansfield, services rendered to the other Town offices ultimately result in improved community services and streamlined operations.

MIS Department responsibilities are as follows:

Centralize purchasing of computer hardware and software for all departments.
This will ensure streamlined repairs and maintenance, standardize use of technology, and compliance with copyright laws.
Provide efficient and reliable operation of all Town-operated hardware and software.
Even the temporary loss of technology services can impact the cost of operations. It is the responsibility of the MIS department to provide a sustainable level of computing services to all departments.
Maintain the Town's Internet presence.
It is this department's responsibility to provide the community with relevant and timely information and services via the World Wide Web. Please check the site frequently for the latest information affecting you.
Evaluate new technologies for possible implementation.
Technological innovation moves at a staggering rate. The MIS department must keep abreast of changes, evaluate new technologies, and analyze the feasibility of implementing new systems.
Provide educational opportunities for Town employees.
MIS must provide training opportunities for Town employees so that they are able to use the available technology more efficiently and productively, as well as developing each individual's confidence in his or her abilities.
