The Morgan County Commission authorized renewal of managed IT services and subscriptions with Digital DSI — including Microsoft 365 and Kaseya — while excluding certain software-as-a-service items from immediate renewal. The action was approved by voice vote.

Scott, representing Digital DSI, told commissioners the county's Microsoft 365 and Kaseya renewals were due and recommended continuance of managed IT services and a co-managed relationship. Commissioners approved a motion to accept the proposal from Digital DSI "with the exception of the software-as-a-service items," and staff indicated the payments will be made from the county's existing IT funding sources used for Digital DSI services.

During the vote, an amount of $38,010 was referenced in the meeting record as the total for the approved renewals. A commissioner confirmed the funding would come from the same county account currently used to pay Digital DSI and said the county finance and IT staff will reconcile the budget line during the upcoming budget process.

Why it matters: Microsoft 365 is a core productivity platform for county email, document storage and collaboration; Kaseya and managed IT services support device and systems management. Renewals keep county systems operational and reduce risk of service interruption.

What happens next: County IT staff will process the renewals and address budget reconciliation during the county's upcoming budget discussions.
