Keating, AICP K'.4 K Community Development Director DATE: - January 4, 1999 SUBJECT: Approval of Computer Software Agreement with Perconti Data Systems, Inc. It is requested that the information presented herein be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of January 12, 1999. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: In 1990, the County contracted with Tindale -Oliver and Associates, Inc. to develop a building permitting/development review/concurrency management computer software program for the community development department. Shortly after system installation, Perconti Data Systems, Inc. (Tindale-Oliver's sub -consultant on the project) obtained exclusive rights to the referenced software (now known as CD -Plus). Since then, Perconti Data Systems, Inc. has provided system support to the County. As designed, the CD -Plus system operates on the community development department's pc -based local area network. Currently, CD -Plus is a DOS program using Advanced Revelation (AREV) as its basic software. In the almost nine years since the County obtained the CD -Plus system, the community development department's computer environment has changed significantly. The network's topology has changed from ARCNET to ETHERNET; cabling has changed from co -ax to twisted -pair; individual workstation operating systems have changed from DOS to Windows; and the network's operating system is planned to be changed from Novell to Windows NT.
