Description
The MFIN IMB recently sought an expert team to lead the design, build, and implementation of a Drupal project to replace an existing executive content management solution. The new solution is designed to support IMB services for a small executive client group and their core business operations.
MFIN IMB is continuing current activities with DC on the development and implementation of this project; and anticipates additional ongoing activities relating to:
- Development of the executive client solution to a Minimal Viable Product (MVP)
- Improvements to the applications support model of MFIN’s OpenShift/Drupal corporate services platform including all existing namespace applications
- Data/content migration
- Refinement of the delivery pipeline and continuous deployment process for the OpenShift platform
- Knowledge transfer to MFIN IMB operational staff including user training sessions and materials
- Critical defect/bug fixes
- Hypercare (24x7 crucial end-user support during stabilization)
MFIN IMB has chosen not to call for proposals at this time and believes that DC is uniquely qualified to provide the availability, experience and services based on the following reasons:
- DC can continue to provide three full-stack architecture and development services part-time/full-time resources required to start effective on August 2, 2022 once the end of the existing Sprint With Us engagement ends July 31, 2022.
- DC is leading the internal IMB team on establishing continuous integration and deployment processes to facilitate an effective transition to internal IMB operational support.
- DC has current experience in initial setup, delivery, and development knowledge of the project’s open-source technology stack that includes:
- PHP 8.0+ is used for the cli container
- NGINX is used as HTTP server
- MariaDB as Database Engine ("MySQL")
- Drupal 9+ on OpenShift 4.8
- The services require senior full-stack developers with experience in MFIN’s agile product delivery framework.
- DC has significant working knowledge of the executive client’s operational business processes and experience working with and engaging IMB, Office of the Chief Information Officer, and the executive client stakeholders including their staff.
- MFIN IMB believes that an alternate service provider at this time would result in significant increases to total overall costs and timelines.
- Ability to offer three senior full-stack developers with equivalent or increased levels of expertise; and experience that specifically address the services and technologies noted above in this NOI.
- A detailed demonstration of the ability to meet the planned contract timelines, as outlined in this NOI; and how the services will be delivered for an equal or lower cost.
