Re: Monthly Department Report – March 2019
Network Infrastructure, Projects and Services:
InfoSys is working on upgrading our domain controllers from the existing 2008 version into an Azure model. Azure offers many advanced features we hope to take advantage of in automating
systems deployment and authentication. Staff is moving forward with implementing several of the advanced features of LaserFiche – workflows, forms etc. It is expected this will work
in tandem with our implementation of SharePoint services some time this summer. It will be presented to the Department Heads at the April 16th meeting and will work through May in
meeting individually with each Department. This will be a long-term project which will help leverage our existing technology to streamline processes and procedures.
Personnel:
Vlatko Jovanov finished his Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) certification class. This will serve him well in his day to day management of our infrastructure. I will be presenting
to the West Central Mountains Economic Development Council (WCMEDC) conference on communications and fiber in May and have been invited to present to the Valley County Commissioners
(date to be determined).
Software Applications and Services:
Microsoft includes VoIP phone services in our Office 365 license, so we are working toward transitioning off of Incom’s VoIP offering. Staff has begun working with Finance to migrate
Caselle to their hosted version. It is expected to begin online credit card processing before Summer.
