<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />City of La Porte <br /> <br />Memo <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br /> <br />From: Larry Mabe, MIS Manager <br />cc: Jeff Litchfield, Assistant City Manager <br />Date: August 6,1997 <br />Re: ISM's Withdrawal of PD's AS/400 from upgrade list <br /> <br />The Police Department's AS/400 computer is an "E" series computer, (model 9404-E25). On <br />May 20, ffiM announced withdrawal of the model E and F series of AS/400 computers from <br />the list of machines eligible for upgrading. This withdrawal will become effective November <br />4, 1997. <br /> <br />MIS budgeted $44,000 for upgrading this machine in the event that ffiM announces its <br />removal from the upgrade list. Now that this has happened, we have completed the following <br />items: <br />. Obtained the cost ofthe upgrade, which is $35,880. <br />· David Wood verified that the U.S. T .I software applications would function on the <br />latest version of the ffiM operating system. <br />· Confirmed with ffiM the ability of the upgraded machine to function as a server in <br />event PD converts to applications that work in a client/server environment. This will <br />require a file server feature to be added when we are ready. <br />. David Wood will coordinate with the Police Department and ffiM to select the best <br />time to upgrade after delivery. <br />. Worked with ffiM on availability and delivery times of the AS/400 upgrade. Shipment <br />to take place before 8/29/97. <br />I have attached a copy of the quote from Business Computer Logistics, the IBM Business <br />Partner. <br /> <br />. Page 1 <br />
