Re: Monthly Department Report – June 2019
1. Network Infrastructure, Projects and Services:
Fiber installation from City Hall to Sansom Trail is nearly complete. It is expected this leg will be
completed by mid-July. Phase 2 from Public Works to the Water Treatment plant will follow shortly
thereafter.
2. Personnel:
The visit to the City of Ammon was very valuable. Much was learned about the design elements
necessary for deployment. Their staff was extremely forthcoming and helpful in all aspects of their
project – equipment, materials, processes etc. Vlatko Jovanov and Chris Curtain will be attending a
one-day training in Boise on the Azure platform. This is the next stage Active Directory offered by
Microsoft.
3. Software Applications and Services:
Citywide upgrades of phone service and equipment will be proceeding through the end of July. Staff
is transferring the service from Incom (CTC) onto the Microsoft platform. The new service integrates
with the “Teams” component of Office 365. Teams acts as a clearing house for collaboration.
Basically, you create a team and all the interaction between members in combined. It also ties to
Outlook for calendaring etc. New phones will be deployed City wide as part of this project replacing
current phones which are over 7 years old.
