RE:

Annual software maintenance for Microsoft software

 

 

             I.      Microsoft Software Maintenance   The City of Lawrence maintains a Microsoft Windows based network providing services to all departments of the City of Lawrence.  The City maintains a Microsoft Select ® Agreement directly with Microsoft, purchasing Microsoft software through the State of Kansas software contract with Software House International.  The last three year contract covered the period from July 1st, 2004 through June 30th, 2007.  The State of Kansas has recently negotiated a new contract that will cover the period from July 1st, 2007 through June 30th, 2010.  The annual Microsoft maintenance fees allow the City to maintain our servers and applications with the latest versions of software, provide 24x7 technical support, a Microsoft TechNet subscription, provides for free software for the City’s training room, offering convenient access to software and self-managed software asset management through the volume licensing website, and many other benefits through their Software Assurance ® program

 

          II.      Microsoft Software   The software under maintenance being renewed is used at all levels within the City.  The software under maintenance includes Windows based servers, Microsoft Exchange server, Microsoft SQL servers, Microsoft Terminal servers, Microsoft Project Professional, desktop applications such as Microsoft Office Professional and Microsoft VISIO, and all of our client access licenses for Windows Server, Exchange Server, Terminal Server, Microsoft Project, and SQL Server.
