HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 12092014 - C.56RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute a purchase order with Network Consulting Services,
Inc., on behalf of the Employment and Human Services Department, Information Technology Unit, in the amount not
to exceed $129,822 to procure BMC FootPrints Software Suite and BMC Software Maintenance for the period
December 1, 2014 through April 1, 2015.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$129,822: 100% Administrative Overhead (10% County; 45% State; 45% Federal)
BACKGROUND:
The Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) needs a simplified help desk ticketing and tracking
system that is available to all technology staff to record and track technical problems through resolution. This is a key
part of creating a unified help desk to receive all reports of technical issues. This will benefit technology’s clients (all
EHSD staff), enabling them to call one number and have a ticket created, regardless of the issue. Currently, they
need to follow a dozen different processes, depending on the type of issue. This will enable the call to be documented
and forwarded to the right person. Then, the person acting on the issue can enter the resolution and close out the ticket.
This software will provide a simplified process for ticketing and tracking help desk requests.
