Title
Microsoft Office 2010 Suite Training - Training Proposal Approval
History
The MIS Division has included funds in the 2011 fiscal year budget to upgrade the office productivity software used by staff in the day to day operations of the Village. The Village recently purchased Microsoft Office 2010 software licensing and plans are to begin deployment of the software in the third quarter of 2011. Staff training will be required as the software is quite different from the current version and has many new features.
The proposed training plan includes on-site instructor led, hands-on training for the new 2010 Office suite; Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint. Based on a class size of 12 students in each session, the cost is $89.58 per student per day.
State of Illinois GSA Contract pricing (Number - GS-35F-0140J) from New Horizons Computer Learning Centers of Chicago was obtained. There will be a total of 25 training days with 300 individual sessions.
The total cost for 25 training sessions at $1075/session is $26,875.
On October 3, 2011 this item was reviewed and approved by the Technology, Communication & Community Engagement Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
The amount budgeted to implement Office 2010 implementation is $73,723 in account number 010-1101-499.60-15. The remaining balance of $26,476 can be used for staff training.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve accepting the proposal for Microsoft Office 2010 software training from New Horizons Learning Centers of Chicago IL, in an amount not to exceed $26,875.
