Background:
The City continues to use Microsoft Server and Office products and had been enrolled in the Microsoft Software Assurance program since it was established in 2002.

In addition to moving email services to the Microsoft government cloud, this has provided for new services to all employees such as SharePoint Online, Skype for Business, OneDrive for Business and also Endpoint Protection.
The quotes to renew the City's Microsoft software are as follows. The quote titled "Renewal" renews the third year of the three-year agreement entered into on November 17, 2015. The cost of the renewal of existing licensing is $181,329.40. The quote titled "Additions" is for the addition of 83 licenses purchased after the last renewal in September 2016. The cost for the additional licensing is $23,493.00. Importantly, the Enterprise Agreement Registration Form, provides for the termination by either party with 60-days written notice.
