Form #: B-52 <br /> 7/18/91 <br /> DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE <br /> REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> DEPARTMENT: Information Technology DATE: 2-11-2014 <br /> STAFF CONTACT: Don Jacobs PHONE: 808-932-2975 <br /> A. REQUEST: <br /> Request authorization to enter a multi-year financial agreement to acquire PC's and Laptops to replace <br /> legacy and non-supported systems. Estimated number of replacement PC's and Laptops required is 700. <br /> B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): <br /> The current population of existing PC's and Laptops in the County consists primarily of systems running a <br /> legacy operating system that will no longer be supported by Microsoft after the second quarter of 2014. <br /> These systems have well exceeded their useful life and are currently impacting productivity throughout the <br /> County. <br /> The unsupported operating systems on these PC's and Laptops will put the County at risk from cyber attacks. <br /> Additionally, replacement of these systems will provide a fast and stable environment for County workers, <br /> using the latest software, and allowing the County to better support the public. <br /> Money has been approved and is available in the IT department budget to support a financial payment <br /> agreement to acquire the PC's and Laptops. Entering into a multi-year agreement enables the County to <br /> effectively leverage these funds over time, allowing us to begin an aggressive replacement process, to <br /> replace all legacy PC's and Laptops in the shortest amount of time as possible. <br /> SIGNED: A DATE: <br /> 0=:a :nt Head <br />
