Title
Anti-Virus Software Annual Maintenance - Expenditure Approval
History
The MIS Division has included $5,695 in the FY 2011 budget for Symantec antivirus software maintenance and support. The village uses Symantec's Endpoint Protection software package, which is a centrally managed antivirus protection system for email, servers and workstations. Maintenance includes software support, upgrades and updates.
The maintenance cost per license is $16.00 and the Village owns 275 licenses. Sixty new licenses were purchased last year for all the police squad cars and funded by Orland Joint Emergency Telephone System Board. OJETSB will be funding the maintenance of these 60 software licenses.
Contact pricing for Symantec products is available through CDW of Vernon Hills, Illinois under Symantec’s GSA IT Contract# GS-35F-0240T.
On December 6, 2010, this item was reviewed by the Finance Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
The village portion of the cost for 275 licenses is $4,400; and $5,695 is budgeted in the computer maintenance account 010-1101-499.43-61. The OJETSB portion of the cost for 60 licenses is $960.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the Symantec antivirus software maintenance expenditure in an amount not to exceed $5,360.00
