Department - Information Technology Milestones: In 1995 Fiber Optic lines were installed by Bell Canada. These lines originally connected all Council buildings to the Administration Building. In 1996 the fiber network was setup with Novell Network Software and Xyntax was implemented. This was to consolidate accounting processes. In 1999 David George was hired and the Novell server was replaced by Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 due to the reduction of Novell in the market place and lack of personnel trained in Novell. That same year PCDocs was setup for the Records Department. This system allows us to search by key work all past BCRs and meeting minutes. In 2000 the network hardware was upgraded from 10MB to 100MB and all systems were migrated to IBM. In 2000 high speed Internet access was first installed. In 2001 ACC PAC was first setup to replace the obsolete accounting system Xyntax. In 2002 the Main Server was migrated to Windows 2003 Server. In 2002 upgraded the network type from Class C/ 254 possible connections to Class B/ 65,000 possible connections. In 2003 Email was moved to the Exchange Email system that was setup to provide Email services to all departments of Council. We are now one of the most technically advanced First Nations in Canada.
