Part II of this case chronicles the actions and outcomes of the legacy system migrations of five New York State agencies. The case highlights the problems these agencies encountered in migrating from legacy systems to enterprise-wide systems built upon relational databases. The case also explores the additional complexities of legacy system migration under the unique legal and operational constraints of governmental entities. Investigated issues include business process management, technical and financial project feasibility, cost-benefit analyses, consultant management, and ERP implementations.

Networks of roadside ditches criss-cross the landscape, and have played a significant but previously unrecognized role in flooding and water pollution. This study surveyed town and county highway professionals across New York State (NYS) to determine their ditch management practices. There was a 41% response rate from the 999 highway staff surveyed, representing 54 of the 57 counties statewide. 36.8% of the agencies reported using full scraping or reshaping without reseeding as their primary method of ditch management and half scraped their ditches on average once every 1 to 4 years. It is estimated that one-third to one-half of the roadside ditches across upstate NYS are therefore in fair to poor condition. This translates to thousands of miles of exposed substrate vulnerable to storms, acting as a source of sediment and pollution. Limited resources including time, labor, equipment, and money were the primary reasons given for the practices used. Additional challenges identified included interactions with landowners over rights-of-way, farm-field drainage, and increasing frequency of downpours. A comprehensive, state-wide program will be necessary to actualize ditch improvement. It will require a complete toolbox of strategies, from financial support and training to regulatory mandates and penalties, and needs to include a ditch inventory system. Incentives in the form of grants and shared services should be offered by state agencies working collaboratively with local governments. Valuing highway department managers as water stewards and supporting the improved management of roadside ditches can provide an important new mechanism for protecting NYS’s water resources.

New Vision

Today, citizens have grown accustomed to highly customized products and services from private sector firms. As a result, they have begun to demand that government agencies become similarly responsive as well. In order to address the ever-increasing expectations of its citizens, governments will need to become more customer-centric. Some government agencies have begun to do this through such IT-enabled initiatives as e-commerce and e-government. This chapter presents a case study of a successful IT project, MACROS, designed to help implement a new vision of business for state agencies within New York State. This new vision requires greater organizational and system transparency, and a culture of collaboration and sharing that is essential to learning how to better serve citizens. The discussion of the methodology employed in the implementation of this e-government application and the lessons learned lends itself to both traditional and virtual educational processes.

System Migration

The first of a two-part case, Part I explains the problems the NY State Government encountered when updating and converting a large-scale legacy information system (IS). The case illustrates the complexities of legacy system migration under legal constraints. Systems issues include: (1) the role of strategic planning for IS, (2) the importance of stakeholder analysis when changing systems, (3) organizational approaches to systems implementation and (4) business process analysis. This case is appropriate for use in either an undergraduate or graduate Accounting Information Systems course and offers a flexible approach to adoption, ranging from comprehensive adoption of all topics in both parts to specific topics within either part.
