Bay Village reviews dozens of IT vendors, staff names Microsoft and CrowdStrike among top providers
Summary
IT Director Jen Demoloy reviewed the city's primary technology vendors—Microsoft, Tyler Technologies, CrowdStrike, Barracuda, South Shore Cable and others—and confirmed some vendor evaluations (BeyondTrust not pursued, FirstComm retained for now).
At the committee's vendor review, IT Director Jen Demoloy listed the city's major technology suppliers and explained their roles. "Our our most significant vendor, outside of EMC, would be Microsoft," she said, and detailed relationships with Tyler Technologies (finance/HR), CrowdStrike (endpoint detection), Barracuda (email archiving/filtering), South Shore Cable (fiber), Datto (backup), CDWG (hardware) and others.
The committee discussed vendors under evaluation. Jen said the city did not move forward with BeyondTrust and that FirstComm remains an existing vendor; FirstComm has proposed removing POTS lines, but after consulting public-safety leadership the city will maintain the copper lines until removal is mandated. Members asked administration to continue market review ahead of the EMC contract renewal later in the year.
The review was presented as informational; no procurement decisions or contract awards were made at the meeting.
