Explanation
BACKGROUND:
The Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging (COAAA) will be migrating from their current GroupWise email platform to Microsoft Exchange 365. PDT Communications will need to be engaged to support this configuration change. PDT Communication’s System Engineers will support the COAAA IT staff on the required permissions and system configuration.
COAAA has also outgrown its current VOIP call channel capacity and will need to engage PDT for professional services to implement configuration changes, testing with COAAA resources to confirm AT&T fiber/router configuration, and updated system licenses.
Total cost of this project is $40,070.80, which will include consulting services for the upgrade, migration, additional annual maintenance and support (for the next year), additional user licenses to accommodate the increased capacity, and other components as necessary.
COAAA has been using the CIC (Customer Interaction Center) platform since 2008, and has used this vendor exclusively (PDT Communications, LTD) since the beginning of the project. There is an existing contract in place with PDT Communications, LTD for annual maintenance and support of the existing system through April 24, 2017. This contract is being awarded pursuant to sole source provisions in Columbus City Code Section 329.19 due to needing the transition to the new email platform to be done by the same vendor to avoid a disruption of services and to minimize costs.
