HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 12082015 - C.88RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent or designee to execute, on behalf of the Chief Information
Officer, a purchase order with AT&T Datacomm in an amount not to exceed $172,586 for the acquisition of Cisco
equipment, in support of a hosted communication system for the Health Services Department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$172,586; The project cost is charged out to the Health Services Department via DoIT's billing process.
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Information Technology's Telecommunication Division is in the process of moving to a Cloud
Hosted Internet Protocol Communication system, allowing for greater flexibility, disaster recovery, and enhanced use
of unified communications. This will provide for a more reliable office telephone service.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The current County telephone system is 100% installed locally within the County buildings, which does not allow for
recovery in case of a local building disaster incident. Callers would receive an error tone because the telephone
system will be offline during such incident. With a cloud hosted telephone service, we will be able to maintain
in-bound and out-bound calling during local and regional disasters.
