... oh and it needs to cost nothing to be developed on the back of "When it's finished we can sell a lot of these..." Been there, got the EXPENSIVE teeshirt, never again! Dave -----Original Message----- From: ProFox [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ken Dibble Sent: 29 May 2014 16:41 To: [email protected] Subject: Possible Data Warehouse Project 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.
