The following standards apply to all computer software:
(1) To be certified or recertified, all software in a property tax management system, including any software upon which it is dependent, must be a current version and release. For the purpose of this rule, "current version and release" means: (A) a version and release that the software publisher continues to: (i) publish or inventory;(ii) provide complete maintenance; and(iii) actively support as a fully maintainable and market viable product; at the time it is to be acquired; and(B) there is no reason to believe the publisher will discontinue support of the current version and release within the succeeding twenty-four (24) month period. If the installed version is not the current version and release, the department may require a version upgrade as a condition of certification or recertification.(2) All computer software must meet the minimum requirements, for example, software version, as stated by the computer hardware manufacturers on which the software is installed.(3) All computer software must be upgraded when it is not a current version and release fully supported by the software publisher or publishers.(4) To maintain certification of the property tax management system, software vendors are required to notify the department in writing of any changes made to the certified software for all patch and version releases.(5) The department reserves the right to require recertification of the entire software, or portions of the software, if changes are deemed significant.Department of Local Government Finance; 50 IAC 26-3-2; filed Jan 28, 2011, 3:07 p.m.: 20110223-IR-050100165FRAFiled 11/2/2020, 8:59 a.m.: 20201202-IR-050190635FRA
