IT seeks OpenAI licenses, remote-management tool as budget priorities

Harrison County Board (budget review) · July 29, 2025

Summary

Harrison County IT told the board it will request OpenAI licenses and a Ninja One remote-management tool next year, citing efficiency gains and replacement of multiple legacy tools; CAD costs rose due to 10 added mobile units.

The county's IT lead told the board the department will request licenses for OpenAI and a remote-management tool called Ninja One as key purchases in next year's budget. He said the purchases are intended to consolidate several existing tools and give staff the ability to reach and update machines remotely.

"the first two that we're requesting is open AI which are licenses for artificial intelligence programming and tools that the IT department will be using," the IT lead said, explaining the rationale for the new software line. He added that Ninja One will allow scheduled updates, remote control of machines and faster troubleshooting across departments. Staff said CAD costs increased largely because the county added 10 more mobile units and additional desktop licenses.

The request follows broader department transitions: the sheriff's office, fire program and other units are moving to new modules and some tools will be retired. The IT lead characterized the coming year as one of transitions, with some savings in one line item likely reappearing in other departmental requests.
