Federal, 35% State, 15% County .
111. BACKGROUND:
Delay in implementation of the CWS/CMS System requires the extension of the contract to provide
the continued support and timeliness of the support during the implementation period.
Additionally, the increased services provided for under this amendment are at both basic and
advanced levels of use of application software that support the job function of case workers. The
software applications include but is not limited to Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft
Mail, Microsoft Internet Explorer and PC 3270 Terminal Emulation. The Social Service
Department is implementing the mandated state-wide CWS/CMS. Comprised of nearly 700
screens, CWS/CMS is one of the most complex applications ever developed for the personal
computer. Intensive training and support for nearly 300 employees is required prior to and after
implementation to assure that staff are able to successfully use this system. To supplement in-
house training efforts, this contract uses professional trainers through the Diablo Valley College
Training Consortium to be present on-site to train and mentor staff in the use of the personal
computer and in use of the system. This will supplement classroom training being provided by
SSD staff.
