DELA MERCED, JACQUILINE MACAGBA. Mariano Marcos State University. August 2021. DEVELOPMENT OF AN INFORMATION SYSTEMS STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE MUNICIPALITY OF NUEVA ERA, ILOCOS NORTE. Major Adviser: Wilben Christie R. Pagtaconan, MSIT Developments and changes in the government setting are necessary and integral components of the framework in order to provide an improved, favorable and sustainable living and working environment. As they become systematically more complex through interconnected frameworks and increasingly rely on the use of information and communication technology to meet the needs of their citizens, the smart city concept has been developed as a strategy to work with different cities. This strategic plan includes a high-level structure, focused on local government and stakeholder engagement, to direct and organize smart city programs. Information System Strategic Plan (ISSP) is an essential practice that helps organizations define strategic applications and match the approach of an organization with successful information systems in order to achieve the goals of the organization. This research study developed an Information Systems Strategic Plan (ISSP) for the municipality of Nueva Era, Ilocos Norte. The ISSP is an initiative that focuses on people first, recognizing its civic leadership and making the municipality of Nueva Era an excellent place to live and work and making sure that the business operations of the municipality government are supported by Information Technology. The components that are used in the Information System Strategic Plan were based on the ISSP template given by the Information and Communication Technology Department (DICT). The ISSP covered the municipality's 3-year plan. Finally, the adoption and implementation of ISSP can transform the municipality into a more developed and civilized town through maximizing the utility of technological resources to improve its quality of services for both residing and working citizens of Nueva Era, Ilocos Norte.
