[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] RFPs for system development

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi Lori,

 

At this point, we are focusing on development, but, you're right, the KCLS
software specs are not really what we're looking for. We're more interested
in RFP's for development that is more specific in nature. The kids catalog
project is one that comes to mind as an example, but there may be other
similar projects out there. It really is a different approach from what we
did when acquiring a commercial system, and seeing examples from other
open-source projects will probably be a lot more helpful than looking at
some of our old RFPs. Does that help clarify the question?

 

Thanks!

Kathy

Hi Kathy,

 

Are you planning to do development or are you looking for an RFP for
services such as migrating and implementation?  The KCLS software specs were
for writing a LOT of new code and I'm thinking that's not really what you
had in mind so wanted to clarify.  I do have an RFP sample for support I
could share.  And another very simple one for implementation and training.

Hi all,

 

I'm working with the three Massachusetts consortia that are planning to move
to Evergreen in 2011. We are in the latter phases of identifying our
development needs for Evergreen with the plan of issuing an RFP for system
development in early summer.

 

I was wondering if anyone in the Evergreen community has an RFP they have
used for system development in Evergreen or another open-source product that
you would be willing to share with us. I do have a copy of King County's RFP
for system support as well as the specs they posted to the
http://oss4pl.org/ site.

 

Thanks in advance for your help!
