Committee flags software, streaming and remote-access costs as notable budget drivers
Summary
Members examined line items including Adobe subscriptions ($3,792/year for three licenses), Triton Digital streaming fees ($2,424.75) and TeamViewer ($2,375) and discussed possible alternatives or future IT changes to reduce costs.
The director walked the committee through several recurring expenses that together make up a meaningful portion of operations. "We have 3 subscriptions to Adobe, and Adobe just ***** the life out of you," Will said, listing a $3,792 annual cost for three licenses; he also listed streaming-platform and remote-access expenses such as Triton Digital ($2,424.75) and TeamViewer ($2,375).
Committee members discussed whether lower-cost alternatives or forthcoming IT changes might reduce recurring fees. Will noted the department is exploring two-factor authentication and other IT approaches that could remove the need for TeamViewer and potentially save roughly $2,300 if an alternative remote-access method is adopted.
