Vendor Evaluation Status • Completed first phase of Proof of Concept (POC) • Narrowed down to two vendors from original 10 vendor list • ACGI and Oracle made their presentations • IT and user teams evaluated and scored these vendors • Oracle was evaluated ahead in preliminary evaluation
Vendor Evaluation Summary • ACGI • Offers a membership specific solution • Not strategic from forward looking and Enterprise Architecture perspective • Very small boutique company - financial viability is a concern • Build cost may lower however need to understand vendors ability to support IEEE time to market/business needs • Oracle • Robust architecture which offers ability to support business needs beyond membership specific solution • Offers strategic systems framework and enables Enterprise Architecture • Build cost higher as it is module based and will require configuration/extensions to align to IEEE’s business needs • Need to assess upgrade/maintainability required once in production
Vendor Evaluation Summary • Key Evaluation Points • User Interface • Support of business capabilities • Streamlined work flow and integration • Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) • Benchmark build versus ongoing maintenance costs • Licensing considerations • Strategic Architecture • Extensibility of design for future business needs • Technology framework
Next Steps • Complete by 31-Jan-2005 • Vendor Evaluations and Solution Selection • Membership Specific Approach • Engage 2 additional vendors - Avectra, Aptify to understand their membership specific solution to benchmark costs/functionality • Oracle/Strategic Framework Approach • Rationalize fixed price bid from Oracle • Understand Oracle consulting cost drivers • Help prioritize, justify and understand estimated future maintenance costs • Engage 2-3 Oracle partners to benchmark Oracle consulting costs • Complete by 8-Feb-2005 • Confirm Recommendations/High Level Plan/Costs • Prepare recommendation for February Board Meeting
