RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Administrator, or designee, to execute an amendment to the Statement of Work for Hourly Services with International Business Machines Corporation, to extend the term through September 30, 2019 with no change to the original payment limit of $154,400, to complete the replacement of the Department of Information Technology's current billing application with IBM's Usage and Accounting Collector mainframe application.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No additional County cost. The remaining allocation of $10,000 (100% User Fees) is budgeted under Org# 1060, Fiscal Year 18/19 and recovered through DoIT's billing process.
BACKGROUND:
IBM's CIMS application (currently in use by DoIT) has been replaced by Tivoli Decision Support for zOS (TDSz) Usage and Accounting Collector (UAC) services. CIMS is a middle ware application used to interface mainframe accounting data and our Microsoft-based accounting data. DoIT's accounting division relies on this application to import and export accounting data for the purpose of our weekly and monthly billing processes. Full conversion was not completed during the initial contract term or subsequent extensions, which expire on September 30, 2018. The Department would like to extend time to allow completion of the project.
