129. MICROSOFT ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT Approve the expenditure of an amount not-to-exceed $43,111,232 with Microsoft over the next three fiscal years and authorize the Chief Procurement Officer to sign the County’s Enterprise Agreement (EA) and all related Enrollment Agreements for County departments/agencies. The purpose of the County’s EA is to ensure continued and authorized licensing of Microsoft products including Windows, Office, Exchange (email), Teams, and SharePoint. The Agreement will be in effective from August 1, 2023, until July 31, 2026. The current EA with Microsoft expires on July 31, 2023, therefore the renewal is necessary to ensure continued and authorized licensing of Microsoft products including Windows Operating Systems, Office Applications, and Office 365 Features and Tools which include email, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive. The EA is the result of extensive analysis completed by the Microsoft EA Subcommittee led by the Office of Enterprise Technology and comprised of members of other departments including the County Attorney's Office, Sheriff's Office, Clerk of the Superior Court, Superior Court, Transportation, and the Assessor's Office. The EA supports the County's use of Microsoft Server technologies, Windows Desktops, and Office 365 hosted services. (C-41-24-000-X-00)
