DuPage County Technology Committee Meeting, Tuesday 6/2/26

The DuPage County Technology Committee met on June 2, 2026, to discuss several procurement and technology initiatives. Key procurement actions included approval of a contract renewal for the county phone system with TIG, now acquired by Boyd Network, for $95,559.04, and a contract purchase order to SHI for $610,099.20 to acquire VMware virtualization software, which will enhance server capacity and reduce physical hardware needs. The committee also received updates on ongoing IT projects, including the successful go-live of the Dayforce HR payroll system and plans for a future RFP for a financial ERP system, emphasizing the need for a steering committee to oversee the complex procurement. Additional procurement-related updates covered the Police Records Management System (PRMS) RFP and contract negotiations for a new application called Mark 43, expected to be approved by July. Other projects discussed included accessibility compliance efforts, AI initiatives with multiple chatbot pilots, and the rollout of a new FOIA tracking tool. The committee highlighted the importance of cybersecurity, data management, and collaboration with municipalities through mutual aid agreements. No new votes were taken beyond contract approvals, but several upcoming procurement activities and policy considerations were noted.
