“So anyone out there who's been waiting for an opportunity to participate, this is it,” city CIO Adel Ebeid said, reported TechnicallyPhilly.com. “We’re not going to have this chance again.”
Among the systems to be upgraded are the licenses and permits system, cashiering, property data and computer aided mass appraisal (CAMA), workforce management, 311, inmate management, revenue, and parole and arraignment system (PARS.)
The city has released request for proposal (RFP) forms for overall planning, licenses and inspections, and cashiering. An RFP for 311 will be released next and work on cashiering and 311 systems will occur next year, Ebeid said. If a majority of the upgrades are completed in the next three years, the project will be considered a success, he added.
