Memorandum
The attached resolution seeks authorization to execute a purchase order for 700 Altiris Client Management Suite Level 1 Licenses for managing the City’s personal computers from Sehi Computer Products, Inc of Rochester, MI for $34,650.00.
Altiris’ Client Management Suite allows the Information Technology Services Unit to actively manage the City’s personal computing fleet, including desktops, laptops, and tablet computers.
Using this software IT will be able to provide access to critical enterprise resources while maintaining acceptable levels of security, support, and software management including application installation, licensing, security patching, and troubleshooting.

The City’s Information Technology Services Unit has been successfully piloting this software to manage the desktops and laptops implemented in the 15th District Judicial Court, since August, 2007.
