UI Solution Request for Proposal closed November 5

(What we mean when we say "RFP.")

Vendors had two months to prepare and submit their proposals for how they can provide the products and services we need for our new UI solution.

Starting early November:

• We’ll spend 4-6 months evaluating those proposals, interacting with vendors to determine the best fit, and negotiating a contract.
• We'll work with an agency-wide team to evaluate the proposals in "rounds."
• The pool of prospective vendors may be reduced at the end of each round.
• Vendors that make the cut will move on to the next round.

Round 1 (completed 11/20/19) the team evaluated: 

Core requirements | Vendor experience | Key persons’ experience

George Fox joined us November 5 as the project’s Technical Manager. George will lead the project’s technical team working closely with the vendor staff and will play a key role in maintaining a close relationship and good communication between modernization and IT. As we get closer to the new solution “going live,” George will help transition project team staff, processes, and systems to our new day-to-day operations.

The OPA3 recruitment for business analysts closed on October 20, 2019.Interviews are completed and we’re moving forward with next steps to complete the recruitment. 

We're also in the process of hiring a Legacy Project Manager. This role will lead and coordinate development and configuration of changes required to legacy systems (the systems we're currently using) in support of the new system. The recruitment closed October 27, 2019 and we'll be conducting interviews this month.
