Vice Chairman Cookson

So when we make this transition to this hardware and software we are going to be off the UNIX system and
going to be solely a Microsoft Sequel base?

Director Codagnone

That’s correct.

Alderman Siegel

So Microsoft has Cloud services and so that allows us to not buy it. When you say we are saving $120,000, is
that over the existing cost that we are paying?

Director Codagnone

It’s over the existing cost.

Vice Chairman Cookson

It’s more of a cost avoidance than...

Alderman Siegel

But instead of purchasing the hardware and you use the Microsoft Cloud services which is a hosting service,
what’s the cost savings, if any, compared to that service?

Director Codaqnone

We didn’t look at doing that kind of thing, I’m not sure many people are doing that with the Lawson ERP
application.

Alderman Siegel

Okay so we don’t want to be on bleeding edge?

Director Codagnone

Right.

Vice Chairman Cookson

One last aspect, you identified a group that is going to be remote managing, correct?
Director Codagnone

What do you mean by identified a group?

Vice Chairman Cookson

You have identified a vendor that we are going to be paying “X” amount of dollars annually to remote manage
the Lawson system.
