Last fall, the County of Wellington and its seven-member municipalities participated in an Operational Service Efficiency Review in response to the Government of Ontario’s Municipal Modernization Grant.
KPMG identified 20 potential efficiency opportunities. One of those opportunities was to explore common information technology (IT) systems and resources across the county and its member municipalities.
