7. Consideration & Action: Authorize City Manager to give written "Notice of Intent to Terminate Maverick Computer Services' Managed Services Agreement"

  • Background: The City of Willow Park has been engaged in a Managed Services Agreement with Maverick Computer Services since 2010. The City has grown to the extent that it is believed we need to go in a different direction with our IT services, this would entail more one on one support to accommodate our IT needs.

  • Below is a summary from Maverick of services to be cancelled should Council provide notice:

    • Managed Service Agreement – Happy to do 60 days termination.

    • Cybershark SOC as a Service – Current 1 year agreement ends 5.30.23.

    • Office 356 Licensing – These are billed monthly but have a 1 year agreement for the pricing level you have. Current 1 year agreement ends 12.20.23. To the best of my knowledge the Office 365 licenses can only be moved to another vendor that uses the same distributor, or terminated with a 100% buyout of the remainder of the term.

    • Mail Protection and Archiving – Can be cancelled at any time. Migration of the mail in the archive can be quite a project. We have not done one to estimate the scope of time involved.

    • Endpoint Detection and Response – Can be cancelled at any time.

    • Minutes: City Manager, Bryan Grimes, identified the favorable relationship with Maverick Computer Services since 2010 but expressed the City's needs have been increasing rapidly; Senior Staff has agreed that the City needs more individualized attention for a 60-day notice.
