Authorization
REQUEST:
Information Services is requesting authorization to purchase
equipment from state contract to complete two projects on
Information Technology Strategic Plan.
PURPOSE:
To obtain authorization to purchase necessary equipment from state
contract pricing,
CONSIDERATIONS:
Per the Information Technology Strategic Plan, two large, important projects
were to be completed this fiscal year, both requiring network equipment and
software to be purchased. Consultants were hired to research both the
centralized backup and network infrastructure overhaul proj ects, and their
recommendations were presented to 1.S. Staff. Staff reviewed their
recommendations and selected the options that were the best fit for our
organization.
All equipment and software is available on State Contract. However, pricing
other than state contract was also researched. All vendors gave additional
discounts off of the State Contract price for equipment.
