Monthly Department Report – Information Systems
Memo
To: City Council
From: Chris Curtin, InfoSys Manager
Date: 11-7--2019
Re: Monthly Department Report – November 7th, 2019
1. Network Infrastructure, Projects and Services:
Core switch upgrades went smoothly with no interruption of business to the end users. The new
switches are a fantastic upgrade that helps address when we need to discover where a system is
connected and\or when a system has issues that can cause network challenges such and over utilization
of bandwidth.
Syringa has approached the City about leasing conduit to interconnect one of their customers. I have
asked them to look into providing the City of McCall with Middle Mile capability and they have been
receptive.
2. Software Applications and Services:
Information Systems is moving forward with the SharePoint implementation. This will be a longer
horizon change – 3 to 4 months – as we design the new file structure and implement an internal web
portal that staff will use to access internal resources. SharePoint is an extension of the Office 365
software the we currently use.
InfoSys has been working with Finance on a plan for credit card payments options. We anticipate
getting this online on or before Jan 1st.
