The Vendor is required to provide for software and implementation services for a client case management system (CCMS) software systems environment.
- Provide for the development and implementation of a software system that will assist the office with case file management, volunteer record management, document creation and storage, reporting and research.
- Key Objectives and Outcomes:
• Enhance operational effectiveness by making more timely, accurate, and complete information available to the Office’s personnel.

• Enhance features and functionality to support increased automation and operational efficiencies by streamlining use of systems.
- The system lacks robust reporting features.
