9.APPROVAL OFCONTRACT WITHLOGICALIS FOR CISCO/WEBEX CALLING
PHONE SOLUTION
The City's current phone system is an on-premises Mitel platform that has reached
its end-of-life and is no longer supported. Migrating to a new system is essential to
eliminate security vulnerabilities and system failures that could occur once
manufacturer system patches cease. Mitel's recent bankruptcy and subsequent
restructuring also create long-term uncertainty for hardware and on-going support.
Transitioning to a modern, cloud-based solution mitigates these risks with built-in
disaster recovery and seamless remote work capabilities within a compliant and
scalable communication infrastructure. A new system will also have less emergency
repairs that are inherent with legacy equipment, thereby achieving reduced monthly
costs.
Recommendation:Recommend the City Council:
1.Approve Resolution 26-17 authorizing the use of National Association of State
Procurement Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint Purchasing Program to purchase
the Cisco Webex Calling phone solution with Logicalis, a Cisco account
partner, in accordance with Section 1625(c) of the Tustin City Code; and
