ITD Proposed Billing Rates

• Dan Sipes – Administrative Services Division Director – dsipes@state.nd.us– 701-328-4317

Data Processing Billing Rates• Hourly Staff Rates

– Draft rates reflect increases of 7% - 10%– Considering a separate rate for architect

level analysis and project management

• Records Management Rates– Rates will increase, amount of increase

still under review

• ConnectND Rates– Still under review – reviewing projected

impact of increased disk usage, Time and Labor functionality and Data Warehouse functionality

Data Processing Billing Rates• Mainframe Rates

– Current plan is to migrate to flat rate billing versus by CPU second

– Assuming no changes to an agency’s applications, current expenditure levels for each agency would remain the same for the next five years

– Regular review to monitor usage/price increases based on new functionality

• Mainframe Disk/Tape Rates– Still determining impact of mainframe

migration– Agencies should plan to budget current

level of spending for existing data storage

Data Processing Billing Rates• AS/400 Rates

– Rates still under review

• EDMS Rates– Per user rates still under review– Separate rates for Teleform infrastructure

– will be monthly rates

• Consolidation Hosting Rates– Still under review– Considering up front installation fee for

dedicated/shared servers

Data Processing Billing Rates

• Disk Rates– Bronze Rate under review - only offered for certain

services– Silver and Gold rates should hold steady– Considering the feasibility of custom rates for very

large data stores (multiple TB’s)

• Network Rates– Cost increases in endpoint connectivity & network

core– Majority of increases in core costs are being funded

by Higher Ed and K-12– Expected cost increases from virus/spam software

vendors– Expected increases in Device rate and endpoint

Fiber and T-1’s

Telephone Billing Rates

• Basic Phone Rates– Expected increase to cover VOIP rollout– VOIP available for phone calls between the

8 major cities

• Long Distance– Expected increase in per minute rate and

decrease in usage since most of the low cost phone calls will now be carried by IP

Micrographic Billing Rates

• Actively pursuing outsourcing arrangement for processing microfiche

• Vendor relationship and billing will still be coordinated through ITD

• Expected cost increases based on outsourcing arrangement and reduced volume

• Cost increases will be less than the projected costs to replace existing equipment and relocate current processing facilities

ITD Cost Control Strategies

• Benchmark against peers• Leverage volume purchasing & term

contracts• Competitive bids• Validate vendor pricing with Gartner• Monitor software licensing and usage• Simplify the architecture (EA)• Just-in-time procurement
