Specific Explanation:
The Chief Information Officer and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve an ordinance to appropriate $800,000.00 from the Contributed Capital Project Fund (4515) for the planned Tenant Migration Services project for Houston Information Technology Services (HITS) on behalf of Houston Police Department (HPD).

$800,000.00

This appropriation will allow for the HPD Tenant Conversion project to consolidate the Houston Police Department’s separate cloud-based office productivity environment into a single, unified, Citywide tenant. This strategic migration will create a more seamless and integrated experience for employees by simplifying system management, improving operational efficiency, and strengthening security through modernized endpoint management, domain unification, and optimized integration with third-party software services. In addition to enhancing functionality, this consolidation is expected to generate long- term cost efficiencies by streamlining software licensing. This effort represents a critical step toward building a more cohesive, secure, and cost-effective technology environment that supports the City’s long- term operational and strategic goals. HITS will leverage cooperative contract(s) for the purchase of professional services and software and will come to Council, as needed, for the procurement.
Fiscal Note:
No significant Fiscal Operating impact is anticipated because of these projects.
