Town of Vermilion IT and Innovation

The Town of Vermilion is an urban municipality located 200km east of Edmonton, with approximately 3,900 residents and a staff of approximately 100 positions including seasonal and casual (eg: fire fighters.) As a small municipality with limited resources our systems are in need of modernization, and innovation in any area is of great benefit to our organization and the taxpayers. The Town of Vermilion has an out of date local network, building security and ERP system. The out of date local network complicates working remotely. Building security is an issue with a metal key based system as keys are often copied without approval or not
returned. One facility has been converted to FOBs however more facilities need to be converted, and we need an intern to be physically present to help coordinate between our contractors.
