Dave - I don't get it. just because its supposed to be based upon
Open-Source SW - that doesn't imply "Cost Nothing"! I think that's a
rather BIG Assumption on your Part. Not that I am fully knowledgeable
about Open-Source dev. and what's going on out there in the Bus. world.
But, seems to me over the past Decade - a HUGE # of co's & org's have
gone the route of Open-Source, even really BIG Co's - but, it doesn't
mean the systems were developed for Free!

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.
