Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Department of Technology Director to modify and renew a contract with NetPro Computing, Inc., for maintenance and support for the Active Directory software. The Active Directory, associated with the Windows operating system, is a repository application which collects crucial information about the system's various resources, including its applications, files and printers. It allows managers to share and manage information on network resources and its users thus providing the ability for their most efficient use. It also provides the ability to manage security services for internal desktop users, remote dial-up users and external customers and helps to eliminate redundant management tasks. Without this software and support, the City will have less opportunity to manage and secure Windows user accounts, clients, servers, and applications and is less able to manage its network resources efficiently. The original contract, associated with purchase order EL005716, expires December 20, 2006, was executed with the option to renew each year on the expiration or anniversary date.


FISCAL IMPACT: During fiscal year 2005, the Department of Technology (DoT) encumbered $45,000.00, for the software and associated services with NetPro Computing, Inc., for the Active Directory application. Earlier this year, the department expended $19,837.50 for additional modules. Funding for this modification, in the amount of $10,650.00 is budgeted and available within the Department of Technology's Information Services budget; for a coverage period of twelve months, from December 20, 2006 through December 20, 2007.
