Memo

From: Chris Curtin, InfoSys Manager

Re: Monthly Department Report – March 2019
1. 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.
2. 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).
3. 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.
