General Fund Operating Budget:
OET Consumption Model
We are evaluating two options for our technology environment and infrastructure
Refers to servers, data storage, operating system licenses, and storage licenses
Status quo = periodic capital equipment and license purchases
Last upgrade to the current technology environment and infrastructure was in 2015
Inefficient, it is possible MCTO purchases more equipment than is needed
Consumption model = new method to fund MCTO’s technology environment
MCTO would utilize OET’s infrastructure and be billed based on monthly usage
Would be charged to the Treasurer’s General Fund Operating budget
MCTO would be willing to use a separate appropriation, if that is the preference
Would cost only 56% of what capital purchases would cost over five years
