DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS SUMMARY

In the “Introduction,” “Project Objectives,” and/or “Project Scope” sections on the following page, describe the type of deployment option you organization prefers. For reference, content management systems – at the single department or enterprise level – can be deployed in a variety of ways, each with their own advantages depending on what an organization is seeking in a solution. Key considerations include:

1. Licensing: You may purchase licenses outright (referred to as “perpetual licensing,” up front; or you may subscribe to licenses for a fixed initial term – typically 36 months – with a lower up-front capital expenditure and low, regularly scheduled payments.

2. Hosting: This refers to the physical location of your software, hardware and data. Organizations with sufficient IT resources may prefer to host their own solutions internally on their premises. Others may choose to have the vendor host the solution in a secure data center. Again, either option offers great benefits depending on your particular needs and IT best practices.

3. Administration: This refers both to the software and to the hardware and infrastructure.

In a traditional on-site deployment, you purchase the software. The software is installed and configured on your servers and workstations at your site. Your IT staff bears administrative responsibility for tasks like adding or deleting users, configuring user, group, document or other access rights and levels, and running routine maintenance and backups.

Depending on your needs, you could have the vendor host your hardware, software and data, but keep the admin rights for your IT staff to manage remotely. Conversely, if you have limited IT resources, you could keep the server, software and solution on your premises, but allow the vendor to remotely administer any changes such as nightly or weekly backups of your data or adding or deleting users.

While the information above does not touch on every possible deployment option, it does illustrate that there are many possible deployment options. You simply need to decide what is right for your organization based on your business requirements, technical environment, and preferences.

1 “Administration” encompasses a wide array of activities from adding a new user to coordinating online, offline and offsite backup and storage of your data. Vendors should be prepared to clearly define the specific administrative tasks they will perform versus those that the customer will be required to perform. Vendors sometimes offer to perform a subset of administrative tasks typically performed by the customer when the customer lacks sufficient IT resources. Think of “Traditional/Perpetual” as customer self service, such as an organization’s internal e-mail client. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Software as a Service is a full-service solution such as Salesforce.com where all management and ongoing maintenance is executed by the vendor.

INTRODUCTION

Victor Valley Community College District is looking for an Enterprise Document Management Solution that will primarily meet the need of Student Services, but untimely meet the needs for the entire enterprise. This solution must provide for a seamless connection to the campus Student Information System (Datatel Colleague), while allowing standalone use by other District programs and functions.

ORGANIZATION INFORMATION (“ABOUT US”)Victor Valley College District is located at 18422 Bear Valley Road, Victorville, CA 92395-5850Number of Employees: 900Initial System Deployment: at seven locations/departmentsCurrent number of image files in image/index storage: 2,743,561Current space used for the image/index storage: 596GB

PROJECT OBJECTIVESOur objectives for the deployment include:

Integrate with Datatel Colleague Student Information System, this integration must require little or no program development and provide a seamless connection.

Provide solutions/options for phased installation of products including a roadmap of requirements for future expansion.

Proposed time-line for the implementation and deployment. Integrate with Datatel Portal (minimum) and Microsoft SharePoint (optional), including price

points for solutions Provide stand-alone support for non-Datatel Colleague Student Information System users Integrate with standard Microsoft Office applications and programs, especially in the case of

stand-alone use of the solution proposed. Ability to use any existing Xerox MFP and other scanners for adding documents to storage Provide a list of compatible scanning devices for the proposed solution and life expectancy of

equipment. Initial installation/solution will include at a minimum, document scanning/integration with

Datatel Colleague Student Information System Initial installation/solution will include at a minimum, document scanning/integration with non-

Datatel Colleague Student Information Systems (such as standard Microsoft office applications) Provide read/print access for an unlimited number of users Provide training on all solutions provided Provide e-form creation and workflow management, including any price points for this option.

Plan on an initially creating 10 forms while providing the appropriate training for at least 5 personnel. Provide additional price points for the development of additional forms.

Provide users with simple electronic access to documents, records and information. Streamline the processing of documents and information, including the ability to capture Paper

documents, emails, faxes, transcripts and other records and submit them directly to workflow for processing.

Provide staff with instant and simultaneous access to documents. Create quality images of handwritten or electronically created documents and meet legal

requirements for Title IV and V requirements.

Partner with a stable company with quality references. Provide a compelling price with rapid return on the investment. Provide an optional solution for e-forms with price points for developing and/or assisting the

campus in development of e-forms. Provide optional ongoing support with several price points Provide an assessment and suggestions of end-user computer requirements and specifications

required to integrate with the proposed solution. Migrate all current image and index files with appropriate metadata to the proposed

system/solution. Provide and option for back scanning and indexing documents, with various price points. Allow for redaction of information within any document or stored imaged. Provide workflow support for all documents Provide OCR scanning as option The initial rollout will include 10 scanning stations, 17 power users, and 54 document retrieval

work stations Provide costs and options for Document scanning and retrieval, e-forms, workflow, OCR,

redaction, and SharePoint integration as a minimum Provide compatibility information with common operating systems such as Win 95, Windows

Vista, Windows Seven, etc.

PROJECT SCOPEThe solution will provide for an enterprise imaging, storage, and retrieval solution with multiple secure levels of access. The current imaging solution is based on the Hershey Systems (Singularity) that contains between approximately 2.7 million images (thumbnail and full image) and indexes. The storage for these files comprises about 596GB of storage. These current images will need to be migrated to any new solution including all metadata, indexing currently used. The District has hundreds of forms that will need to be converted to e-forms, however, initially we will want at least 10 personnel to undergo training to convert approximately 10 paper forms to e-forms. The remaining District forms will be converted in house. Data validation will be conducted by each department as documents are scanned and stored.This project should only minimally interfere with the normal operations of the campus.

This section details our intended scope of deployment. Departments participating in the scope of this project include:

PRODUCT DEMONSTRATIONSAs part of the evaluation process, we require a live integration demonstration for vendors chosen as finalists. Each vendor must prove its ability to configure the proposed solution to integrate with our business application(s) without programming. Selected vendors must demonstrate on-site integration with the application(s) listed in the previous table.

DEPLOYMENT STRATEGY The initial deployment will be for Admissions and Records, Financial Aid, DSPS, EOPS, CalWorks, Counseling and Human Resources. The remainder of the campus will be deployed over time and will require comprehensive train the trainer type instruction on the use and deployment of the imaging solution.

The solution will ultimately be deployed at remote locations that are logically connected to the district networking infrastructure. The district intends to purchase the software up front and manage the solution ourselves. Some type of maintenance agreement will need to be in place. However other options for this deployment (SaaS, Hosted, subscription, etc.) will be reviewed for possible consideration.

FLEXIBLE CAPTURE CONFIGURATIONWe require a solution that allows for distributed scanning and distributed capture functions. The initial deployment will consist of 10 scanning locations located in separate areas of the campus
