Public award description

AS THE VISIBILITY AND UTILITY OF FAMIS BECAME APPARENT WITHIN THE FAMS, FAMIS HAS BECOME MORE CRITICAL TO THE DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS AND DEMAND FOR FAMIS ACCESS FROM GEOGRAPHICALLY DISPERSED LOCATIONS HAS INCREASED STEADILY. THERE CONTINUES TO BE A SIGNIFICANT REQUIREMENT FOR OFF-SITE END-USER ACCESS TO FAMIS. WITH THIS NEED FOR REMOTE ACCESS INTRODUCES COMPLEXITIES INTO THE ADMINISTRATION, OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE OF FAMIS AND SECURING THE DATA CONTAINED WITHIN. THE DESIGN PRESENTLY REQUIRES INSTALLATION OF A J-CLIENT INITIATOR ON THE WORKSTATIONS OF INDIVIDUALS REQUIRING REMOTE ACCESS TO FAMIS. TO ADDRESS SUCH COMPLEXITIES AND SIMPLIFY ADMINISTRATION, THE FAMS LOGISTICS OPERATIONS DIVISION (LOD) IS SEEKING ADVICE AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE FEASIBILITY OF MOVING TO A WEB-CENTRIC ENVIRONMENT. TO EFFECTIVELY PLAN FOR ACCOMMODATING ANTICIPATED GROWTH; DETERMINE IF THE PRESENT STRUCTURE IS SUFFICIENTLY SCALABLE AND ADEQUATE TO ADDRESS FUTURE CAPACITY AND DATA MANAGEMENT NEEDS OF THE FAMS; AND EVALUATE FEASIBILITY OF MIGRATING TO A WEB-CENTRIC DESIGN, CONSIDERING PRESENT CAPABILITIES AND LIMITATIONS, THE FAMIS PROJECT OFFICE IS SEEKING THE SERVICES OF AN OUTSIDE ORACLE CONSULTANT FOR THE PURPOSE OF PERFORMING AN INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENT OF THE FAMIS DATABASE SYSTEM.
