What is an enterprise system?

An enterprise system is a software application or computer system that collects, stores, exchanges and analyzes information that the agency uses that is both of the following:

  • A multi-departmental system or a system that contains information collected about the public.
  • A system that serves as an original source of data within an agency.
    An enterprise system does not include any of the following:
  • Information technology security systems, including firewalls and other cyber-security systems.
  • Physical access control systems, employee identification management systems, video monitoring and other physical control systems.
  • Infrastructure and mechanical control systems, including those that control or manage streetlights, electrical, natural gas, water or sewer functions.
  • Systems related to 911 dispatch and operation or emergency services.
  • Systems that would be restricted from disclosure by Government Code Section 6254.19.
  • The specific records that the information technology system collects, stores, exchanges or analyzes.
