The Leavenworth County Information Systems department reported progress on critical software and hardware upgrades and ongoing cybersecurity work.

The department completed migration of the on‑premises Microsoft Exchange email server to a cloud service and has begun migrating perpetual Microsoft Office licenses to Microsoft 365. IS staff said these moves address near‑term end‑of‑life and vulnerability issues. District court systems are also being upgraded with new recording software, audio systems and desktops across five courtrooms; IS said seven licenses for the court recording software were procured.

The department reported 949 help‑desk tickets in the quarter, said it is fully staffed, and reported no cybersecurity incidents during the reporting period. The IS director told commissioners that a number of unplanned upgrades and end‑of‑life replacements have drawn on equipment reserves and that the department expects to expend most of its budget and equipment reserve for these unplanned items this year.

No board action was requested; the presentation was informational and commissioners asked budget and equipment‑reserve questions.
