Tritech Software Systems, 6454-0001 SERV - This Purchase Order is decreasing in the  
amount of $847,546.88 and closing due to cancellation of the contract. (Clerk of the  
Circuit Court)  
Member Gustin asked if County staff will be doing the work previously done by Tritech  
Software Systems, resulting in the savings. Kevin Vaske responded yes, explaining that  
staff developed an e-citation system, for which they will be providing support. He said  
they had pretty much been providing that support for the vendor system because they are  
an easier point of contact for the agencies who use it, noting that they do anticipate  
spending more time on support, but not significantly so.

PRESENTATION  
CIO Anthony McPhearson said Debra Deacy and Shanita Thompson have been working on  
creating the new intranet site and will be presenting. He then said Ms. Deacy and Rhonda Breier  
will present on the Learning Management System.  
Mr. McPhearson said an intranet site is an internal website that allows staff to communicate and  
collaborate better as well as provide a place where staff can find information quickly. He said he  
thinks this new site will make a huge difference in how we communicate as an organization.  
Mr. McPhearson said the new Learning Management System replaces a 13-year-old system that  
was completely out-of-date, cumbersome, and difficult to use. He said employees will now be  
able to access any type of training at any time on any device.

New County Intranet  
Debbie Deacy said the new intranet is scheduled to go live June 3, 2024. She also noted  
that it is a cloud application that will be available at all times. She and Shanita  
Thompson then provided an overview on the new system.  
7.B.

New Learning Management System  
Rhonda Breier presented a demo on the new Learning Management System (LMS). She  
said it can be accessed through Okta at dupageco.okta.com or directly at  
dupagecounty.myabsorb.com.  
Member White asked if the system is live yet. Mr. McPhearson said it officially started  
April 1st but the first training module went live yesterday.  
Member Rutledge asked if the LMS will keep you logged in. Ms. Breier responded that it  
will log you out after two hours.  
8.  
OLD BUSINESS  
Member White requested that there be an update on the B2G Now implementation at a  
Technology Committee meeting in May. Mr. McPhearson said he will partner with Valerie  
Calvente and the Procurement team to provide an update. He said Procurement uses it on a daily  
basis with great success. He said a lot of organizations have submitted their information to B2G  
Now and Ms. Calvente runs regular reports. Chair Yoo reminded the committee that B2G Now  
is our MBE WBE tracking software.
