Description IT looks towards new software solutions to enhance business processes, improve the customer experience, and provide value through efficiencies. Software maintenance is also typically required for most software purchases. This fee is paid every year or after the initial purchased support term has ended. This maintenance allows our software environment to stay up-to-date on versions, features, and security. Justification A majority of our software requires some form of software maintenance and licensing agreements from the vendor to remain current. Maintenance agreements typically includes phone support, ability to upgrade to the latest versions, licensing, and security patches for vulnerabilities. IT also looks for new software packages that will increase efficiencies in the city and works with the appropriate departments to determine if there is value in the purchase. Some of our larger software agreements include Microsoft, GIS, and Laserfiche. Total Project Cost: $1,175,000
