GRANT COUNTY TECHNOLOGY SERVICES
ENTERPRISE CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (ECMS)
With Primary Emphasis on Replacing an Existing Enterprise Wide Imaging Implementation
Request For Proposals
Grant County is seeking proposals for an Enterprise Content Management System (ECMS), with primary emphasis on replacing an existing enterprise wide imaging implementation. For the purpose of this RFP, ECMS is defined as “an integrated software product suite that can electronically capture, process, index, store, access, view, revise, reproduce, distribute, and dispose of information in both a client/server and web environment.”
The County will enter into a contractual agreement with a company or firm to be selected as part of this RFP process. The purpose of the agreement will be to implement the usage of ECMS software, documentation, implementation, training, and conversion services.
Project expectations are:
1. The system should have an expandable modular design to readily incorporate additional future enhancements;
2. Any customized application developed for Grant County needs must be developed, tested, and maintained using a high quality software development methodology for long-term reliability and technical efficiency;
3. Successful responder shall have knowledge and experience of how ECMS affects local government entities with multiple departments;
4. System shall have appropriate tools available to create applications for future County needs;
5. A Database Management System (DBMS) such as Microsoft’s SQL Server is highly desirable as the County already has significant tools that allow Grant County Technology Services (GCTS) staff to access data in any system. GCTS also has the ability and experience required to measure and monitor the performance of applications using Microsoft SQL.
