A c MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable City Council FROM: Dana Shigley, Administrative Services Direc or DATE: May 3, 2002 (meeting of May 15, 2002) SUBJECT: CONSIDER PURCHASE OF MICROSOFT OFFICE UPGRADES FOR ALL USERS BACKGROUND The city has approximately 70 computers operating Microsoft Office 97 software, which includes Word, Excel, Access and Powerpoint. These software packages are used extensively by staff and it is important that we maintain current versions of this software so that our files are compatible with the public and other agencies. At the end of this year, Microsoft will no longer support Office 97 and will not produce any software patches for it. Additionally, we plan to upgrade our operating system by the end of the year, posing possible software conflicts with this older package. DISCUSSON We had planned to include a request to upgrade Office 97 to Office XP in the 2002/2003 fiscal year budget. However, pricing for licenses is increasing June 1, and we could save $4,000 by purchasing the licenses before that date. The attached budget resolution amends the Information Systems budget to add $18,000. This would provide the funding for licenses for Office XP for all city users, and would include upgrades and patches for two years. The cost would be spread to all user departments.
