County approves Switchbase cloud software for Golden Spike Event Center
Summary
The commission approved a contract with Switchbase to replace an aging event-management system at the Golden Spike Event Center with cloud-based software tailored to the fairgrounds; staff expect a mid- to late-September cutover.
Weber County commissioners on Aug. 18 approved a contract with Switchbase for an event-management system tailored to the Golden Spike Event Center and the county fairgrounds.
Duncan Olson, who led the procurement effort, explained the county previously relied on an older system called ABC that was not cloud-based and had limited vendor support. He said Switchbase "is built for us," describing the software as cloud-enabled, vendor-local to Utah County, and configurable to county-specific needs — advantages he said will help staff load events, manage billing and track operations tasks. Olson told commissioners the county hopes to complete a cutover in mid to late September, after this approval.
Commissioners asked questions about expandability and training; Olson said Switchbase can be tailored to fairgrounds operations and staff and that the vendor’s proximity would simplify onboarding. The commission moved, seconded and approved the contract.
