Technology director reports project completions, e-fax rollout and $32,000 in printer savings

Eric, Eaton County's technology services director, told the committee the department completed its scheduled fiscal-year projects on time and under budget and is roughly halfway through an e-fax implementation that has onboarded six departments. "We were able to complete all of our scheduled projects, under budget, and on time," he said, and noted continued work on an IT policy/security stack rewrite involving about 38 policies.

He also described negotiated savings on printer replacements and maintenance: the county secured roughly a 20% per-unit reduction for devices (about $32,000 in savings this project year) and expects an annual maintenance-contract savings roughly equal to $36,000. Commissioners thanked Eric for the savings; no formal action was required.
