Authorization To Execute Contract Amendment For Business Analyst Services
end
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize the Information Technology (IT) Chief Information Officer (CIO) to execute a contract amendment with On-Demand Group to extend the term and to purchase additional business analyst services.
SUMMARY
County IT has contracted with a Business Analyst consultant to assist staff in ensuring that projects are properly scoped, and all business requirements are well documented.
Deliverables to be included are:
* Working with all stakeholders to gather and document a list of requirements that will be basis for the formal requirements definition;
* Where warranted, create a process document (this document outlines the steps necessary to complete a process, either business or technical);
* Perform and document a gap analysis (identify the difference between the current state and where the customer would like to be); and
* Work with users and stakeholders to guide or lead quality assurance (QA) testing. May include creating test cases and test scripts.
The original contract was to assist staff on a variety of projects freeing up staff to work on the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Implementation project and other larger projects. The ERP project is in its post-implementation phase; however, we now have pent-up demand for projects that were put on hold due to resource constraints through the ERP implementation. This extended term will mean work on the Jail Management System (JRMS) Replacement Project, Paymentus Implementation of Additional Fee Types project and other projects as assigned will continue without interruptions.
