County approves security system upgrade, server purchase and temporary IT help for Southwest Health and Human Services

The Pipestone County Board approved three technology and facilities measures: replacement of an aging security alarm system, purchase of an updated SQL license to support the county's document server, and a temporary help-desk services agreement to assist Southwest Health and Human Services. Bill presented the items, saying the current security components were at end-of-life and some batteries and parts were difficult to source; he recommended staying with the incumbent vendor for compatibility. "Basically, it's a complete replacement of that system to include all the panic panic button, the repeaters, the the main board, and the temperature sensor," he said.
