<br /> <br />appropriately things like that. So it’s not one of those things that can really happen <br />overnight, but I think that we’re proving that it, that it’s practical when we use the <br />exchange server’s example, they’re very practical reasons of doing some of these <br />things. <br /> <br />Mr. Perry: As you progress on your consolidation, consolidation I’m not sure is <br />quite the word. What kind of savings is our, what kind of magnitude of savings do you <br />actually see is this a 1% thing or a 100% thing? <br /> <br />Mr. Jacobs: You know I don’t know what the percentage would be, it’s really. <br /> <br />Mr. Perry: Guess. <br /> <br />Mr. Jacobs: There is a savings to be had. There certainly is a savings we have I <br />guess an example is when we brought up the new exchange server we’re able to get <br />the licensing cause you have to get licenses for each individual user. So now we could <br />buy 1,500 or 1,800 licenses to cover all of the email boxes throughout the County as <br />opposed to maybe the 1,100 that we had so there are price breaks as you start bringing <br />those things in and the fact we’re only having to license one exchange server versus <br />four that’s probably a couple thousand dollars per unit per server so there’s an economy <br />of scale to bring those common things together. <br /> <br />Mr. Mitchell: Another input from Kona here. Thank you very much for your time <br />Don. <br /> <br />Mr. Jacobs: Sure. <br /> <br />Mr. Mitchell: One of the letters, I’m sure it’s no surprise you know we get a lot of <br />feedback and contact from people in the community and various departments. One of <br />the concerns several times was in regards to electronic time cards that there seems to <br />be a lot of sort internal form seems to frankly have a duplication of effort and one of the <br />comments or suggestions to us was electronic time cards. Is that feasible, sir? <br /> <br />Mr. Jacobs: It is feasible, we’re actually getting ready to start testing some <br />internal electronic forms at the IT level we’ve just contracted with a vendor to bring up a <br />new internal website and using that technology we’re going to start deploying some <br />electronic forms to see how they flow and then from there we can see where we expand <br />at and time cards is definitely one of the ones that’s a big interest because it’s a very <br />manual paper process, very intensive. Whereas there are electronic modules where <br />someone can fill their timesheet out on their computer hit send it goes to the next level <br />of management and just works its way electronically thru the process. We hope to get <br />there some day but I don’t have a timeline. <br /> <br />Mr. Mitchell: Thank you and just a follow up to that, would it be electronic <br />signatures that is something the Department of Education is doing electronic signatures. <br />How we doing with that, sir? <br /> <br />Mr. Jacobs: We’re actually pretty well we have a product called CoSign and I <br />think currently we have 75 people using electronic signatures. It’s not, it’s not like a <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br /> <br />
