INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Computer Supplies is a catch all for keyboards, mice, utility programs, upgrades and purchases of programs which don't fit under the capital articles, but are necessary to keep computers in good repair and software up to date. The largest expenditure here is for laser printer toner, particularly with the increased demand for color printing and our new plotter. There is an increase here as spending has outstripped this line item for two consecutive years, primarily because of the demand by committees for more materials in color. Contracted Services are our support/maintenance contracts. The majority of these are not optional costs and are required unless we wish to terminate our use of the programs. There have been price increases to some of our long term standard suite of programs including PKS, Vadar, and Mozy. General Code has replaced its “Code on CD” product with a hosted “Code Online” product, which will also make the full searchable town code available to the public. There are some new expenditures here as well. First, during the last year we have tightened up our security and archiving capabilities due to increased threats from malware such as Cryptolock/Crytowall. This included enhanced local backups with Veeam and a second anti-malware protection product. We added a long overdue email archive and retrieval system “Orca” due to increased requests for email under the public records law. LogMeIn, which we use for remote access for maintenance, began to charge for their product which we have been using for several years. In addition, Departments will now be granted access to the accounting system. As part of the roll-out, Departments will also be able to enter their Accounts Payable batches and Cash Receipts prior to coming to Town Hall. There is also an option of electronic submission. The additional costs are associated with the licenses and support.($18,840) Additional IT support is also need during new project roll-outs and for vacation coverage. This support is available from Barnstable County and/or a 3rd party provider. ($25,000) Web Services are maintenance fees and support for the website. This includes hosting fees for the live and test sites, as well as support subscriptions to various design templates and modules.
