The upgrade is a partial upgrade to the Credit Union's IT System. The installation and integration requires support and knowledge of the PTOFCU's IT system. The most recent upgrade was purchased from CMC by the PTOFCU in purchased in January 2006. The 2006 upgrade was customized to integrate with the PTOFCU's existing IT system and included the installation of CMC's Flex Software. This upgrade is also customized to integrate with the PTOFCU's existing IT system. The use of another vendor would cause disruption of service and require replacement of integrated peripheral IT items due to the integrated nature of the PTOFCU IT system. Additionally, purchase from another vendor would force the PTOFCU to change the vendor they contract with for maintenance. CMC provides maintenance support for the PTOFCU-owned Server and Flex Software. The PTOFCU will continue purchase system maintenance from CMC after the system has been upgraded.
