Background Information
Sungard Public Sector, LLC is the City's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software that provides mission-critical application and data management for Finance, Utilities, Building, Code Enforcement, Land Management, Human Resources, Cash Receipts, Police and other services. This application suite is also integrated with a number of disparate applications throughout the City. This suite of modules has an annual maintenance cost, and this allows the City to have access to technical support, software patches and major updates from the vendor. It is imperative that we continue to upgrade these applications to receive new functionality, meet new regulatory requirements and ensure the continued compatibility with various systems. This annual maintenance also helps to ensure that we can continue to conduct business with external partners and provide relevant access to our customers. These maintenance charges are paid annually. Included in the purchases below is a Police purchase of additional OSSI software licenses, and purchase of software licenses for Code Enforcement mobility. The contingency amount is listed for any non-planned training or services that departments may request. Sungard Public Sector, LLC is the sole source for maintenance of their products, and the sole source justifications are attached.
