Agenda Text
The Board is requested to approve the renewal of the County’s three-year Microsoft Enterprise Agreement contract for the continuation of Microsoft licenses and services. These Microsoft licenses and services will be purchased through SHI Corp., a reseller of technology products, per the State Convenience Contract 208C. The amount of this Enterprise Agreement contract is $1,326,279.87 and will be funded from IS&T’s current fiscal year 2022-2023 operational budget.
The Board is also requested to authorize the County Manager authority to execute subsequent maintenance renewals, amendments, and annual payments not to exceed the existing operational budget if the need arises. This authority will allow the flexibility to quickly respond to time sensitive matters if needed.
The licenses and services provided by the Microsoft Enterprise Agreement strengthen information security through the use of several best-of-industry cybersecurity tools, while allowing County employees usage of critical productivity tools and applications including Office 365.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: Efficient and effective operations of business applications supporting citizens across our County departments align with Goal 5 (Accountable, Efficient and Visionary Government) of the Strategic Plan
