During FY 13, the City of Macon and Bibb County requested that the Middle Georgia Regional Commission serve as a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to facilitate preparations necessary to consolidate the information technology (IT) network and systems to support the new consolidated government and its implementation of the new Public Administration Enterprise Resource Software program. As the CTO, the Middle Georgia Regional Commission, with the help of a dedicated team comprised of City and County staff, designed and implemented a new server system to serve as the technology backbone of the new government. Additional work will continue into FY 14 to assist the IT departments in building a consolidated technology system by January 1, 2014, when the Macon-Bibb County Consolidated Government takes effect.
