Information Systems & Resource Acquisition

     
 

  assists state and local organizations with the planning and acquisition of new or replacement information systems and resources. This service allows organizations to benefit from our extensive experience in identifying requirements and working with vendor-specific areas. We currently maintain significant databases of functional and technical requirements, as well as model contract language and evaluation processes. This area of service includes components such as:

  • Acquisition plans.
  • RFPs, RFQs, and RFIs.
  • Contract development and negotiation.
  • Business plan development.
  • Competitor analysis.
  • Financial planning services, including long-range capital and cash flow planning.
  • Managed care strategy development.

 

Our planning process is thorough and comprehensive. The end product plan provides a valuable tool that keeps the client's information systems mission-focused and in concert with overall company goals.

 
 

Our information systems acquisition and resource acquisition expertise is reflected in the following engagement list:

 

 
 
  • During this extensive engagement with a Midwestern state, MTG assisted with the identification of system requirements, development of purchasing documents, the evaluation of vendor proposals, and the negotiation of contracts.  Systems included the new AFIS, criminal history system, telecommunications network, and Web portal.

  • In this project, MTG assisted a large state law enforcement agency in the identification of functional and technical requirements for a new state criminal history information system and statewide law enforcement case management system.  The requirements were then incorporated into two purchasing documents. 

 

  • In this engagement MTG assisted a state with planning and designing a project to acquire and implement common local criminal justice applications across the state. The scope of our assistance included the definition of requirements for jail management, law enforcement, and prosecution systems and a review of the vendor market. The state has subsequently implemented a common jail system and law enforcement records management system in more than 60 agencies and is in the process of contracting for a common prosecution system.

  • MTG assisted a state correctional agency with a feasibility study and the development of the requirements and procurement document for this new $30 million system. We identified and defined the detailed system requirements and developed a data model for the new system as part of the procurement. These work products were then incorporated into an RFP that was issued by the state using a two-phased procurement process.

  • MTG assisted a county and city in the identification and definition of detailed system requirements for an integrated law enforcement system. The scope of this system included case reporting, records management, jail management, and dispatch. We then incorporated the requirements into an RFP that was issued by the county and assisted in evaluating vendor proposals based on our evaluation methodology.

 

 
  • MTG assisted an eastern state child care division in completing an Integrated Systems Needs Analysis, detailed system requirements, and an RFP for system development.  The goal of this project was to develop an information system that enhances the coordination and integration of services with other child development and family support services.  Development of the needs analysis and requirements to meet the goals for a new integrated child care services system involved numerous activities, including facilitation of focus groups to define system goals/requirements; evaluation of current state infrastructure, data systems, and platforms; and creation of an overall system architecture, including technical components, security, functionality, and data.  The project resulted in the drafting of an RFP for system development. 

  • MTG completed a feasibility study for Infant and Toddler Early Intervention Program (ITEIP) within the Division of Developmental Disabilities for a state Department of Social and Health Services.  The goals of this project were to assess the possibility of implementing an information system for ITEIP that enhanced data sharing, communications, and coordination throughout the program.  The new system would be required to improve case management, enhance the cost-effectiveness of service delivery, track the effectiveness (outcomes) associated with ITEIP participants, integrate information with other data maintained by each participating agency, improve data quality, and reduce data entry/operating costs.  The engagement resulted in a detailed RFP, and subsequently a qualified vendor was selected to develop the system.  MTG provided ongoing architecture and quality assurance services during development and implementation of the system.

  • MTG assessed the human resources needs and requirements of a state legislative administration division.  In addition, we assisted the legislature with defining specific requirements associated with its Human Resource Information System (HRIS) processes, identifying potential software packages and vendors, and procuring a viable solution.  Specific activities performed included facilitation of interviews and joint application design sessions to document specific functional and data requirements for the HRIS, analysis of business processes/systems and development of an “as is” model, identification of required interfaces to other systems, evaluation of available software packages/vendors, development of an RFP and facilitation of proposal review, and facilitation of vendor/product demonstrations. This assignment resulted in the development of specific functional and data requirements for a new HRIS, an analysis of the current HRIS vendor/product community, and creation of an RFP intended to facilitate selection of the most appropriate HRIS software package/vendor for the state legislature
