The voucher and purchase order reports show a substantial, ongoing relationship with ClientFirst Consulting Group for Village IT services, including 2025 and 2026 IT services, cabling project preparation for bid, disaster recovery planning, mobile device management, RTV backup services, and server upgrades. PO 25‑01005 lists $140,000 for 2025 IT services (with most relieved), and PO 26‑01228 authorizes $120,000 for 2026 IT services, with multiple April 2026 invoices for switch replacements, cabling project bid prep, DR plan development, MDM deployment, and backup/server work split between IT and Public Works Water funds. This indicates a multi‑year IT modernization effort covering network infrastructure, cybersecurity/resilience, mobile management, and facility cabling, with ClientFirst as the incumbent advisor/implementer. While the core IT support and planning work is under contract, this activity points toward upcoming procurements for physical cabling installation, new switches, servers, and related hardware/software where other vendors may compete, as well as potential integrations with water and sewer operations. Hardware vendors, low‑voltage cabling contractors, and specialized security/backup providers should watch for bid opportunities emerging from the cabling project RFP that ClientFirst is preparing and align offerings with the Village’s DR and MDM strategies.

The Library Division Director’s report for July 9, 2026 includes “New Patron Laptops and Laptop Kiosk,” indicating that the library has recently acquired or is in the process of deploying new laptops and a kiosk system for public use. While the agenda does not name the hardware or software vendor, the framing as “new” suggests that a purchase decision has already been made or is underway rather than just being contemplated. This represents an IT implementation and may create follow-on needs such as device management, printing integration, security, maintenance, and future refresh cycles. IT vendors can use this as incumbent intelligence to identify what solutions might now be in place, and to offer complementary services such as support contracts, cybersecurity hardening, reservation/checkout software, or planning for eventual expansion and lifecycle replacement of the laptop fleet and kiosk system.
Primary purchase decision appears to be made; opportunities more likely in support, integration, and...
Southern Illinois University’s Board approved a three‑year Adobe Enterprise Term License Agreement for the entire SIU System, purchased through CDW Government, LLC under an IPHEC contract. The agreement, not to exceed 1750000 over three years, covers Creative Cloud, Acrobat, Adobe Sign, and shared device licenses used extensively in instruction, academic support, and administrative workflows. The decision maintains broad campus access rather than moving to limited per‑user licensing, which leadership concluded would be disruptive. For IT and EdTech vendors, this confirms Adobe as the entrenched content and document platform across SIUC (including the School of Medicine) and SIUE through roughly mid‑2029, and indicates ongoing needs around integration, training, accessibility, workflow automation, and potential complementary tools rather than replacement in the near term.
Funding will be proportionally allocated between SIUC (including School of Medicine) and SIUE via th...
In May 2026, the SIU School of Medicine issued a 148060.06 purchase order to CDW Government LLC for Epic hardware merchandise and equipment to be sold to departments through the IT store. This procurement is tied to Epic, the clinical EHR platform, and indicates ongoing investment in EHR‑related endpoint and peripheral hardware across clinical and academic units. Although the specific purchase is awarded, it confirms Epic as the core clinical system and points to a centralized internal resale model for Epic‑certified hardware. Vendors in clinical devices, secure endpoint management, and Epic integrations can leverage this insight to explore complementary solutions, manage lifecycle, and plan for future hardware refreshes aligned with Epic upgrades.
Funded via non‑appropriated funds; equipment is held by the IT store and sold to departments, indica...
