Description
San Bruno City Council Meeting April 23, 2013
10d. Purchase of Microsoft Office Suite 2013
B
Evening,
honorable
mayor
and
members
of
the
City
Council
for
the
past
13
years,
city
of
theb
renal
staff
has
used
office
2000
in
the
performance
of
their
daily
tasks,
and
that
includes
word
excel
and
powerpoint,
and
during
this
time
span.
Microsoft
has
introduced
five
upgrades
to
the
office
suite.
They
are
office,
XP
office,
2003,
2007,
2010
and
now
2013,
which
was
released
late
last
year
with
each
new
release.
B
We
encounter
compatibility
issues
with
our
older
and
the
newer
versions
of
the
document
and
it's
causing
on
in
efficiencies
with
staff
when
they
try
to
open
the
documents
when
they
try
to
edit
the
documents
we
have
taken
some
steps
to
alleviate
this
issue.
We
have
installed
converters
on
the
network,
but
again,
as
the
programs
advance,
the
converters
are
becoming
less
and
less
effective
and
at
times
we
lose
the
features
of
the
newer
documents
we
lose
formatting
and
believe
it
or
not.
At
times
we
actually
lose
the
data
in
the
documents
themselves
in
the
conversion
process.
B
Also,
support
for
office
2000
ended
many
years
ago,
and
we
no
longer
receive
the
security
updates
from
Microsoft,
but
keep
in
mind
if
this
does
not
put
us
at
a
huge
risk.
We
do
have
quite
a
few
security
measures
and
devices
in
place.
We
have
our
firewalls.
We
have
our
antivirus
anti-spam
where
software
we
have
intrusion
detection
system,
but
keep
in
mind
that
microsoft
updates
their
updates
for
the
office
products
are
designed
specifically
to
target
threats
against
office
products
and
office
documents.
B
This
upgrade
will
eliminate
the
the
difficulties
when
opening
and
working
on
documents
for
city
staff,
and
it
will
also
reduce
some
of
the
vulnerabilities
our
network
might
face
from
other
security
threats.
One
part
of
our
evaluation
process
for
this
project
was
our
training
subcommittee.
Our
training
committee
was
granted
access
to
the
office
2013
documents
Word
Excel
and
PowerPoint,
with
the
purpose
of
evaluating
the
training
requirements
for
our
city
staff
and
the
committee
recommends,
or
the
committee
strongly
recommends
that
all
staff
attend
some
type
of
training
or
some
level
of
training
for
the
office
2000
sweet.
B
Second
of
this
year,
a
bid
package
was
prepared
by
finance
and
we
deliver
that
bid
package
to
Microsoft
and
Microsoft
on
the
city's
behalf,
distributed
that
bid
packet
to
their
partners
that
were
authorized
to
sell
on
the
California
State
select
agreement
and
when
we
open
the
bids
on
April
12
forbids
endpoint
technologies,
provided
the
most
responsive
bid
in
the
amount
of
thirty
seven
thousand
three
hundred
and
ninety
five
dollars.
So
this
project
is
part
of
the
technology
capital
improvement
program.
D
B
D
So
that
agreement
says
that
the
state
of
California
gets
the
lowest
price
and
I've
seen
similar
agreements
with
other
with
other
vendors,
not
specifically
Microsoft,
but
usually
the
agreement
I
see
is
that
the
state
of
California
will
get
the
lowest
price
of
any
customer,
and
some
other
customer
gets
a
better
deal
than
the
state
is
automatically
entitled
to
that
same
price.
Is
that
kind
of
how
it
works?
That's
hot
where's,
your
correct.
Okay,
all
right.
