Recommend approval of Contract Modification No. 2 and renewal for Microsoft Enterprise with Insight Public Sector, Inc.^(D) in the amount of $196,000.

Azure is the cloud computing services component of the current Microsoft EA agreement being utilized by the City of Savannah.  The Azure environment provides scalable infrastructure for the City’s cloud-based services such as MySavannah and virtual computing resources from our public-facing devices.  Utilizing this cloud-based environment provides increased security, expands accessibility to daily operational resources, and delivers a platform for disaster recovery.
