THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Upgrade of the county's phone system (back-end platform) to a supported environment, replacing an end-of-life system and server platform.
The upgrade is a 'back-end' change, meaning the physical phones will not change, minimizing impact on employees. The vendor offered monetary incentives, including waiving a $19,000 maintenance fee for the current year. The current system cannot purchase additional licenses and is running on an unsupported server platform, posing risks for system outages and backups. This was a sole-source procurement.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
