BACKGROUND;
Since June 1996 the Social Service Department has not had an
in-house personal computer application development
capability. Efforts are underway to re-establish this
capability through the addition of new positions. In the
meantime, there is a need to have a number of important
applications completed as soon as possible. These include
conversion of an in-house personnel database to a newer
product, a contracts management system, a comprehensive
government benefits management system, and a number of
survey systems related to welfare reform. A further delay
in development of these systems will compromise the
department's efforts to. improve its management of these
important areas. The contractor and County Information
Technology staff will be used to develop and maintain the
systems identified until such time as in-house staff and
County data processing staff can be hired to assume
responsibility for this function.
