Folks,
This is an EXTREMELY preliminary "feeler" about what potential exists for a
contract to build and maintain a statewide Center for Independent Living
data warehouse.
I am NOT an official person authorized to do anything. I am participating
in a workgroup that is developing specifications for a project. This
project may never get off the ground. I am not in a decision-making
position. I'm just gauging issues and interest.
The New York State vocational rehabilitation agency and the state
Independent Living Council are looking to create a data warehouse that can
be used to document both unmet needs for, and impact of services provided
by, Centers for Independent Living. The database would need to import data
in a standard format from many individual Centers, and be able to query
across all data points in a flexible fashion.
It would need to be fully compatible with a wide range of browsers and
OSes, and have a mobile tablet/phone component. It does not require
high-concurrency though.
It needs to use only open source, 100% standards-compliant, non-proprietary
software for data storage and website operation. It needs to be maintained
to ensure compatibility with rapidly changing browser and OS requirements
on a timely basis.
The system needs to be higly flexible, capable of storing and querying on
any number of specific data points within several broad categories of data.
In other words, the specifics of what the system needs to store and report
can change frequently, so hard-coding of specific "fields" should be avoided.
The people who develop this would, naturally, need to be very experienced
in all segments of open-source database and website development.
Does anybody out there feel that, if such a project went out to bid, they
would be likely to respond?
Any other thoughts would be welcome.
Thanks.
