Committee approves Microsoft 365 training contract; county to phase out Zoom

St. Lawrence County Finance Committee · August 24, 2026

Summary

The committee approved a contract with Liftoff LLC for advanced Microsoft 365 training (Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive) and modified the 2026 IT budget; staff said the change will allow the county to discontinue Zoom and improve departmental collaboration.

The Finance Committee authorized the chair to sign an agreement with Liftoff LLC for Microsoft 365 training and approved a corresponding modification to the 2026 information technology budget.

An IT staff presenter said the next round of training will move beyond basic Office applications to address Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive, enabling staff collaboration and reducing reliance on outside video platforms. "We will no longer be paying for Zoom. We will use Microsoft Teams," the presenter said, and explained the training will let staff work collaboratively on documents and streamline storage.

The resolution was moved, seconded, and carried by the committee. Staff said the training builds on last fall's rollout and will be funded from the contingency portion of the capital fund designated for this purpose.
