Commissioners approve three-year PDQ Connect subscription to address audit finding
Summary
County IT staff recommended migrating to PDQ Connect to resolve a vulnerability/patch-management audit finding. Commissioners approved a three-year agreement after staff said the trial already reached ~95% of workstations and the multi-year price would lower overall costs.
County IT staff asked the court to approve a three-year subscription to PDQ Connect to meet an audit finding on vulnerability and patch management.
"We rolled it out about 3 weeks ago in a trial format, and we've gotten about 95% of the workstations into the console," IT staff Harris said, adding that the software identified previously unknown vulnerabilities and allowed the county to remediate them. Harris said the county currently spends $4,950 per year on their existing PDQ product and that a three-year agreement would reduce multi-year costs by roughly $7,600 compared with rolling annual pricing. Commissioner Hanif moved to approve the three-year quote and authorize the county judge to execute necessary documents; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
The court recorded no recorded roll-call tally in the transcript; the clerk announced the motion carried. The decision follows a stated need to satisfy a county audit and to consolidate device inventory and patching across about 330 desktop computers. The action was presented under item 3 of the agenda.
