San Diego Data Processing

ATTN FORMER DPC EMPLOYEES: Get on the DPC Alumni mailing list. Send an email to DPCAlumni@outlook.com. San Diego Data Processing Corporation (SDDPC) was created by The City of San Diego in 1979 to provide a vehicle outside of the City’s wage and hour structure to insure that the City had the best and brightest people to manage The City of San Diego Data communications infrastructure. Over the years, SDDPC managed nearly all aspects of that data infrastructure including voice and data communications, programs and processes, and coordination of activities that impacted the applications that the various City departments used. SDDPC demonstrated tremendous skills in applications development for various programs in support of City government and those applications were used by many municipalities. In addition, SDDPC had tremendous capabilities in purchasing and contracting and supported other Cities besides San Diego in this area as well. In 2010 The City of San Diego decided to move in a new direction and ultimately put out an RFP to allow others to bid on the activities that SDDPC had been performing on behalf of the City. That bid process resulted in an award to 3 different vendors for the work SDDPC had been performing. Xerox was awarded the telecommunications component of the ongoing work, Atos was awarded the data center component, and CGI was awarded the applications component. The City then substantially increased the DoIT staff to manage these three vendors. These awards resulted in the decision to close SDDPC on or about December 31, 2013. While we are disappointed with that decision, we take pride in our accomplishments as an organization and want to thank the thousands of dedicated employees through the years that made it all possible. We want to thank the City of San Diego and all the fine public servants who were our customers through the years.
