The Ventura County Board of Supervisors agreed Tuesday to buy a software system that will cost $5.4 million, but it should save nearly $6 million over the next four years. The county will purchase the “enterprise content management” system from an IBM vendor and will hire six people to maintain it at a cost of $2.4 million this year and about $1 million per year after that. “We’re moving into the 21st century in a big way,” Supervisor Peter Foy said. “This is an amazing opportunity to save money for the taxpayers and be more effective and efficient in what we do.” For the full story visit www.venturacountystar.com/news/2008/aug/06/county-software-costs-54-million-should-03/
