design of a parcel file and an equipment control file. These are not, however, <br />designed to be Integrated with any of the other files. <br /> <br />Computoservice~s procedure for future applications development is to depend upon <br />the expressed needs of current municipal users (approximately 16) and the <br />anticipated marketability of the application. They' are willing to sign a letter of <br />intent for the development of some of the applications requested in the Bid <br />Specifications as part of the contract negotiation process. <br /> <br />Planninl Data Center: Meeting and brief demonstration, 1.17.84, with John <br />Sanger, President; at Planning Data Center. (Note: Hardware and some <br />preliminary software applications were demonstrated at an earlier stage in this <br />selection process.) <br /> <br />Planning Data Center has the strongest background in-planning and public works <br />of any of the vendors, but substantially less experience in finance and <br />administration. They are strongly committed to the future development of nearly <br />all of the applications requested by the City and were able to attach dates to <br />some of the applications. They have completed various levels of designs for most <br />of the applications, but none of the integrated files have been fully 'developed <br />yet. <br /> <br />Future application development depends upon a contractual commitment by the <br />City and anticipated future contracts with other municipalities. They are willing <br />t° sign a letter 'of intent for the development of some of the applications <br />requested in the Bid Specifications, as part of the contract negotiation process. <br /> <br />Tele-Terminals: Meeting and brief demonstration, 1o18.84, with Kay Halvorson, <br />Sales Representative, Jeff Swanson, Software Development, and Tom Miller, <br />specialist for their financial software, at Tele-Terminals. (Note: Hardware and <br />software was demonstrated at an earlier stage in this selection process.) <br /> <br />Tele-Terminals has existing software applications in finance, planning, <br />administration and public works, but not as many as the other vendors (see <br />comments above). For all of the requested software applications, they expressed <br />a strong commitment to either develop the specific application or devise a way <br />to achieve the same results with minor modifications to or alternative uses of <br />existing software. <br /> <br />Future applications development depends on a strong working relationship with <br />existing municipal users (currently two, Fridley and Marshall), and the <br />anticipated marketability of the application. They are willing to sigh a letter of <br />intent for the development of some of the applications requested in the Bid <br />Specifications as part of the contract negotiation process. <br /> <br />Ramsey.
