DISCUSSION
The City purchases various computer licensing products using the Select 6
Agreement between the State of California and Microsoft. Through this
program, Microsoft has provided a quantity discount on its products if
purchased through one of its authorized Large Account Resellers (LAR). En
pointe Technologies, Inc. is an authorized LAR through the Select 6 program
and currently has an agreement with the City to allow purchases of computer
software under the Select 6 program. The licensing products are necessary
for the City to fully utilize available Microsoft technology.
The City requests the purchase of licensing for 20 copies of Microsoft SQL
Server Standard Edition, four copies of Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise
Edition and 1,954 Microsoft SQL Client Access Licenses (CAL' s). The first
two items are data base server software for applications operating in the
City and Police data centers. The CAL's are licensing to enable networked
City computer end users to access Microsoft SQL data base applications. All
three items include "software assurance" which is a form of
support/maintenance.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Technology Plan Miscellaneous Citywide Projects
Computer Software account (account no. 109-600-6661).
