McCrady, City Manager <br /> Gerard J. Bauer, Assistant City Manager for Administration <br /> Randy G. Aldrich, Manager, MIS Division <br /> SUBJECT: Purchase of IBM DB2 Passport Advantage Maintenance Agreement <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that City Council approve the attached <br /> resolution, authorizing the renewal of the IBM D132 <br /> Passport Advantage Maintenance Agreement with IBM, <br /> Corp. <br /> BACKGROUND: The majority of our in-house developed applications are <br /> based on a DB2 database. These systems are critical in <br /> the day to day operations. This is a 12 month agreement, <br /> effective April 1, 2012. It will allow us to update to the <br /> most currently available version of the software for the <br /> duration of the Agreement. It will also give us access to <br /> IBM support resources and personnel for problem <br /> resolution. This gives us a measure of protection for the <br /> City of Decatur's investment in D132 software, applications <br /> and training. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTORS: None anticipated. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: None. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Gerard J. Bauer, Management Services Director (424- <br /> 2801); Randy G. Aldrich, MIS Manager (450-2239) <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: The $6,885.00 will be paid from the MIS Fund, <br /> reimbursed on a pro rata basis from other funds, and is <br /> within existing appropriation authorizations. It is a 12 <br /> month extension of our current agreement, effective April <br /> 1, 2012. <br /> 2 Attachments <br />
