Corporate Implications: Departmental Comments:
Through the evaluation process, the evaluation team determined that the proposal from Information Builders (Canada) Inc. offered the best valued technology solution that integrated within our existing environment and offered the functionality required by the City to meet its existing master data management requirements. Information Builders (Canada) Inc. provides many years of experience in the MDM industry and has demonstrated experience in implementing MDM solutions of similar size and scope. Information Builders (Canada) Inc. is also an existing vendor to the City of Brampton since 2007. The City has licensed their software tool that enables the City to transport data between business systems. The proposed solution is modular and best integrates with the existing software solution licensed by the City.
The first project to utilize this new technology solution will be the centralization of the City's addresses, streets and property related information. Establishing a master database and managing property data once will deliver efficiencies, reduce data duplication and give the City the ability to establish data consistency. Most importantly it allows data from many source databases to be integrated, giving the City a 'single view' of all City activities occurring at a property. There are many city processes that relate to property and/or streets. Ultimately this data architecture will support more effective customer service and begin to break down business system specific data silos. The City also plans to use the proposed tool for other City data sources/types (such as people, assets or service requests) in the future.
Funding Comments:
Funding for RFP2010-021 - Supply and Implementation of a Master Data Management and Data Quality Software Tool is available in Capital Project #061440-002 - IT AC-Development Tracking. There is sufficient funding to award RFP2010-021.
The table below indicates the original budget, expenditures and/or commitments to date, balance available and balance remaining.
Project # Prog # Original Budget Expenditures and/or Commitments to Date Balance Available Commitment for RFP 2010-021* Budget Balance Remaining 061440 002 $755,000 $287,737 $466,901 $311,154 $155,747 * Includes 1.76% of applicable HST
