While recognising that EBC is not primarily an Information Technology organization, the goal of this committee is to ensure that all functions of EBC relying on timely access to information function smoothly. Because some information is sensitive, planning data security is within the scope of the committee. Since some information is transient, planning data archival and destruction is also within the scope of the committee. | While recognising that EBC is not primarily an Information Technology organization, the goal of this committee is to ensure that all functions of EBC relying on timely access to information function smoothly.

The committee must not overlook Free and Open Source Software ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Free_Software_Definition FOSS] ), nor [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_format open data formats]. Using FOSS where practical will increase the reliability of EBC’s IT infrastructure in the long-term. Since the use of FOSS may sometimes involve some customization, EBC will work with other organizations experiencing similar challenges to share the costs of such development. | |||
