Summary: On 4/17/2013, the Board approved a three-year contract with IBM, in the amount of $215,485.27; however, the item submitted to the Board and the contract did not reflect the three year contract value. BOT now seeks approval to correct the contract amount to properly reflect the County's needs for the duration of this contract. If approved, this contract amendment will allow BOT to receive uninterrupted hardware maintenance and software subscription services on existing AS-400, i-Series platform, processors and equipment during the next two years. This platform is essential to Cook County Government operations. Many critical information systems run on AS-400 (i-Series).
