RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Information Officer, or his designee, to execute a Statement of Work for Hourly Services with International Business Machines Corporation, in an amount not to exceed $154,400, to replace the Department of Information Technology's current billing application with IBM's Usage and Accounting Collector mainframe application, for the period August 18, 2015 through August 17, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$154,400 (100% User Fees); the cost is budgeted under Org# 1060, Fiscal Year 15/16 and recovered through DoIT's billing process.

BACKGROUND:

IBM's CIMS application (currently in use by DoIT) has been replaced by Tivoli Decision Support for zOS (TDSz) Usage and Accounting Collector (UAC) services. CIMS is a middle ware application used to interface Mainframe accounting data and our Microsoft based accounting data. DoIT's accounting department relies on this application to import and export accounting data for the purpose of our weekly and monthly billing processes.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

By not implementing the Tivoli Decision Support Mainframe Application upgrade, DoIT will be unable to process our internal and external billing. This would adversely impact the department’s revenue.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
