Staff: counties must procure Office 365 and manage MFA under state system
Summary
County staff said the MOU and state system require counties to procure Office 365 for county machines and take responsibility for future multi-factor authentication (MFA); participants noted cost and support implications.
Participants discussed technology requirements tied to the state system and MOU. S2 (staff member) said counties "must procure their own Office 365" and that "all future MFA requirements will be the responsibility of the county." S3 noted Office 365 is "like $6 a month per computer."
Staff said the state (DIS) handles service on state computers but county-owned machines and services remain the county's procurement responsibility; when systems fail, the county expects to maintain and replace equipment. The group agreed to factor procurement and recurring software costs into the MOU review before committing to additional state-imposed technical requirements.
