Riverside County, California Signs $3.7 Million Contract with Hansen to Provide An Integrated Land and Transportation Management System New System To Replace Legacy Client/Server Application with State-of-the-Art 100% XML Web Services Application Built Using Microsoft .NET Architecture FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Contact: Shelie White P: (916) 921-0883, ext. 3145 E: shellie.white@hansen.com SACRAMENTO, CA, March 11, 2004 - Hansen Information Technologies (Hansen®) announced today that Riverside County, California, has executed a $3.7 million contract with the County’s Transportation and Land Management Agency. The new contract will provide Hansen’s next generation product, Hansen 8, to help manage the County’s building permits, code enforcement, licensing, GIS, transportation and cashiering business processes. Developed as an XML web services application using Microsoft .NET architecture, Hansen 8 represents a 100% server-side application, accessible via the Internet, with zero client-side software required on the PC. The new system replaces a legacy-based client/server land management application. With a population of more than 1.5 million, the County of Riverside’s Transportation and Land Management Agency (TLMA) is responsible for county-wide planning, land-use, development, building permit and licensing. Its responsibility also includes the construction, maintenance and rehabilitation of the County’s 2,600-mile network of roadways and stormwater infrastructure. “With Riverside County we begin deployment of the next generation of software to help run state and local government,” said Chuck Hansen, chairman and CEO of Hansen. “XML web services allow unprecedented interoperability and scalability to service the increasing demands of citizens, businesses, and government. While large agencies, like Riverside County, will benefit from lower support and software upgrade costs, it is also paving the way for small and medium-sized communities to have us – or our certified value-added resellers and business partners – to host or administer their applications with a new breed of XML applications. ” Because County employees will need only a web browser, proper security clearances, and a web address to access the Hansen 8 system, it will give the TLMA the ability to support numerous business processes and work activities throughout its service territory, without the burden of supporting individual software installations and upgrades on multiple PCs: Key activities in this project include: Planning Cases Building Permits Code Enforcement Violations Mitigation Fee Processing Flood Management Cases Airport Land Use Commission Final Map Processing Transportation Improvement Plans Executive Reporting and Business Intelligence The business justification, procurement, vendor selection, and acquisition of the County’s new Land Management System was a complex process. Beginning in early 2002, an inter-departmental team of County staff was organized to evaluate and recommend a replacement for its legacy system. To ensure that developers, builders, and citizens were part of the decision- making process, the Board of Supervisors selected members of the public to serve as an oversight committee. A detailed Request for Proposal was written and published, with many vendor responses submitted as part of a competitive bid. The most promising vendors were invited to demonstrate their proposal using sample electronic and paper-based information, supplied by the County, including a detailed benchmark test that included scripts that replicated existing workflows and business practices. After all final candidates were tested, scored and evaluated, Hansen was selected as the vendor of choice. A case study is currently being developed, detailing the County’s complete acquisition and project life cycle, including recommended benchmark test scenarios, to assist other state and local government agencies in their procurement process. An aggressive 12-month implementation of the Hansen system will commence immediately. A key aspect of the project will include development of standardized data conversion and migration tools to convert existing data from the County’s legacy system to Hansen’s XML web services solution. The software implementation will be funded entirely from County development fees.
