2. Overall Objective for Implementing CMS
Efficiency: Free up ITD resources to build and redesign websites while business maintains content
Capability: ITD can apply foundation level changes to all websites as mass updates
Modernization: Upgrade tools and infrastructure to be contemporary, scalable, reliable, and secure
3. Project Objective
Build a website with Autonomy
Maintain that website and develop other websites using internal resources
Leverage SSA’s TeamSite license
Project Issues
Autonomy license
Need to carry-over websites history for SSA
Change in Infrastructure design
Lack of sufficient Autonomy skillset among internal resources
4. Steps Taken to Mitigate Project Issues
Met with HP to update them on project status, get their commitment for project success
HP did a half-day project review and provided their analysis on gaps and solution to address them
HP has provided cost estimate to implement the SSA’s staff website
Met with GSPAAN on requirements review and get estimate for implementation of SSA’s
staff website
Talked to independent consultant (thru Savitartech) regarding implementation
Spoke to Gartner regarding Autonomy, implementation approach and support model
Discussed with Digital Strategy & Services (DSS) team on addressing the project issues and
commitment
Ram became more educated on this project
Have daily touch base meeting to resolve open issues
5. Key Facts Learned
We didn’t allow enough time with implementation partner for acquiring the development
skillset
Resource with programming background (JAVA, XML, XSLT) is required for this project and
future support
Project team would require resource(s) to develop HTML, CSS, .pages in Autonomy
besides other development work
6. Project Issues – Mitigation
Autonomy license - $605+
Bridge license until May 31, 2014 - $605 ($500 + 21% of $500)
After twelve months there is a monthly fee of $4,840 ($4000 + 21% of $4K). If existing SSA websites are migrated to Enterprise TeamSite
v7.3.2 before May 31, 2014, we would not require this monthly extension
Need to carry-over websites history for SSA - $87,500
Cost estimate from GSPAAN for migrating sites – $56,000
Software license cost for creating separate Intranet infrastructure – $31,500 (2 Open Deploy Receivers - $6K, 3 ColdFusion Std. ed. -
$25.5K)
Cost of server virtual instance - $(ask Geoff)
Change in Infrastructure design
HP recommend we implement TeamSite v7.3.2 instead of v7.3.1. Requires minor upgrade.
Middleware team would do the software install/upgrade. They would like the external partner to review & help resolve issues from
TeamSite/LiveSite install/upgrade
Cost part of GSPAAN/HP implementation quote (cost provided in subsequent slides)
Lack of sufficient Autonomy skillset among internal resources
Gap due to combination of missing skillset and needing addition project resources with different skillset
Multiple options for acquiring missing skillset reviewed in the following slides
7. Acquiring Skillset - Options
Option 1: External Help Option 2: Internal Only
Approach Leverage Consulting resources (vendor or
independent) to build the first site
Take the most complex website (SSA’s Staff
site) and implement it first
ITD would acquire knowledge transfer incl. few
hands-on experience as passive partner
Purchase consulting/support hours from
vendor to assist, if needed, when ITD build
new site on their own
ITD takes a simple website and implements it
On successful completion, develop other
websites in the increasing order of complexity
8. Acquiring Skillset – Options – Contd.
Option 1: External Help Option 2: Internal Only
Pros A working website in relatively short time
ITD learn methodology, best practices from
implementation partner
ITD will have library of code line to use for
new sites
External partner would review the software
install/upgrade
ITD has external help for
guidance/development, if need be, when
developing other sites internally
Cost no money
Retention of knowledge acquired is high
Cons Expensive option
Internal staff may be slow initially to build the
first couple of sites post-transition
No guarantee we’ll have a working website
Rework and inefficiencies due to lack of
awareness of best practices
Resource constraints due to longer duration of
this project with other future concurrent
projects
9. External Resources – Options
GSPAAN HP Professional Services Independent Consultant
Pros Knows the County environment
better than the other two
Possibly more accommodating
to our questions and demands
May have best expertise of the
three
Ensures HP has deeper
commitment to the
project/product success
Works at a pace conducive for
internal resources to learn
Autonomy
Cons With John leaving, may not
have the top notch consultant
Expensive option
Possibly less accommodating to
our questions and demands
Internal resources have to take
more share of project workload
Will take longer to implement a
site compared to the other two
High hourly rate. May end-up
more expensive that GSPAAN
after six months
Cost $129,920 ($114,400 + $15,520)
1,048 hrs. incl. 128 bank hours
$241,120
1,096 hrs. incl. 80 bank hours
$126/hr (1040 hrs. - $131,040)
10. Acquiring Skillset - Options – Recommendation
Option 1: Utilizing external resource, GSPAAN, to implement framework for one site (SSA’s Staff site)
Have a working and complex site framework developed1 using Autonomy in relatively short amount of
time
ITD would acquire KT and reusable code line for subsequent implementations
ITD would have consulting hours with vendor, if need be, for guidance and for issue resolution when
developing subsequent websites in Autonomy
GSPAAN has a good understanding of the County environment, project requirements and can hit the
ground running
1 The site framework would be developed to the point where SSA can migrate content to make it a fully functional website
