Early this year, after numerous

utilized by this City, the
Processing Advisory Committee.
concerns being expressed over
processing systems that are
Mayor established the Data
The Committee began its review by looking at all of the
software programs that have been developed; that are
currently being developed; that are proposed to be developed:
and those that were cancelled.
The Committee recognized that the needs of the city have
changed since 1984, and asked all Departments to review the
needs and make any changes that they feel necessary.
Once that was accomplished, the Committee asked the Data
Processing Manager to organize the responses, and a Matrix
was developed. Once the information was organized in this
fashion, it was evident that the needs of the City had
changed dramatically.
with a better understanding of the past, present and future
needs of the City, the Committee came to a concensus that an
outside consultant would be needed to do a comprehensive
study of the City's needs and prepare a 5-Year Master Plan to
meet the future needs of the city and the community.
The Data Processing Advisory Committee formed a sub-committee
to prepare a Request for Proposal (RFP) and evaluate these
proposals. The RFP was developed and sent out on August 5,
1988. Nine (9) requests were mailed out, with a due d~te of
September 6, 1988. Five (5) proposals were received;
however, only four (4) proposals were complete. The firms
that submitted complete proposals are as follows:
1) PEAT HARWICK MAIN & COMPANY
2) DELOITTE, HASKINS, SELLS
3) .WARNER GROUP
4) TOUCHE ROSS

COMPUTER SYSTEM ANALYSIS
NATURE AND SCOPE OF TilE STUDY
The city desires to have a comprehensive computer system
study performed looking at the evolutionary process that has
taken place in the data processing division since 1984, and
the present and future needs of the City as it relates to
hardware, software and staffing. This "study" should include
a definitive computer needs assessment, analysis, and
determination of specific applications, analysis, and
recommendation of software and hardware alternatives/options
based upon specific applications, development of priorities
for implementation based upon financial constraints,
development of an RFP for hdrdware and software vendors based
upon city requirements/needs outlined in the study, an
evaluation of vendor responses and recommendations for
specific vendor's hardware and software, and
suggestions/advice on lease/purchase options alternatives for
hardware and software.

Specifically, the computer study should include the following
tasks:
1. Computer Needs Assessment. An evaluation and
prioritization on a department-by-department and
intradepartmental basis of computer needs and
current, as well as potential, computer
applications.
2. Departmental Requirements and Applications. The
needs assessment or additional analysis should
result in a determination of specific computer
applications identified by department, application
title and description, departments needing access
to such data, priority assignment possible, and
computer sources.
3. Alternatives Analysis. This should include a
description and evaluation of each hardware and
software (generalized and application)
alternatives, including: estimated costs,
estimated savings or increased revenue advantages/
disadvantages, and potential implementation time-
lines. This portion of the study should also
include recommended alternatives for the city to
pursue and identification of priorities for
implementation based upon city fiscal constraints.
4. Request for Proposal. This document is to be
prepared and would include all city requirements
for hardware and software, along with standard RFP
provisions for response and evaluation.
S. Evaluation and Vendor Recommendation. The
consultant will be responsible for evaluating
vendor responses to the RFP and recommending a
specific vendor's hardware and software for
acquisition by the city. This aspect of the study
should include specific advice on lease/purchase
payment options available and recommended to the
city.

CITY/ORGANIZATION/DATA PROCESSING HIS10RY
The city of San Bernardino, a chartered city founded in 1810
with a population of approxmiately 150,000, operates under a
Mayor/Council form of Government. The city consists of fifty
five square miles, with an additional twenty-five square
miles of unincorporated land within the city's sphere of
influence. The city's growth potential is projected to
include not only a doubling of population and of the existing
seventy thousand parcels within the next five years, but the
Police and Fire Department's Records Management and computer-
aided Dispatch, as well.
In ~ddition, the city has 1,521 full-time employees. There
are sixteen Departments in the City that report to the Mayor
and city Administrator. The city does operate a municipal
refuse utility and sewer service.
The City first considered addressing their computer needs in
the early 1980's, which resulted in an assessment and a Five
Year Master Plan being developed in 1984. The plan was
implemented: however, due to problems with the software
applications, the implementation has not been able to be
completed.
For your referral the following attachments are enclosed:
*ATTACHMENT 1 - A current In-House Needs study & Matrix
(Which assumes current situations only.)
*ATTACHMENT 2 - Listing of Current OP Hardware
*ATTACHMENT J - city organizational Chart
*ATTACHMENT 4 - 1984 Information Systems Recommendations
THE SELECTION PROCESS
The city is anxious to proceed with the consultant-prepared
study as quickly as possible. It is hoped that the results
of the study can be evaluated, and any plans for
implementation be addressed by the Staff and the Mayor and

Dear Mr. Sutton:
Peat Marwick Main & Co. (Peat Marwick) is pleased to present our proposal to
perform a Computer System Analysis. As detailed in your Request for Proposal,
we are proposing a five-phase project approach to include a computer needs
assessment, development of an RFP and evaluation and recommendation consulting
services.
We believe Peat Marwick is uniquely qualified to perform this project for a
number of key reasons. First, our User Oriented Approach. Peat Marwick's
approach to needs assessments and system requirements definition stresses
client involvement. We also stress the project team's true understanding of
your needs. Our methods are aimed at insuring that an open dialogue takes
place between the users, project coordinator, and the Peat Marwick project
team.
Second, Peat Marwick's Qualifications. Our Firm's experience and expertise in
public systems definition and implementation are well documented within this
proposal. We have assisted numerous clients of all sizes, all across the
country. Peat Marwick professionals are able to draw upon this expertise via
our own internal network of project information and resources. Our past
successes have formed the basis for the methods that we are now proposing.
Third, our Project Team. The key staff assembled for this project bring a
wealth of personal experience to the team. We propose to staff this project
with recognized public sector and computer systems expertise from our Los
Angeles and Inland Empire offices.
Finally, Our Commitment to Client Service. The selection of a professional
consulting firm from among a number of well-qualified firms is a truly
difficult task. Analyzing and evaluating approaches and qualifications in a
quantitative manner, while useful, often .fails to properly weigh the critical
intangibles that produce the most successful effort. These intangib1es~-
include:
The consulting firm's culture or style, which impacts the consulting
team's interaction with the client

The consultinl firm's track record for on-time, on-budlet project
completion, which impacts the client resources available for other
purposes
The consultinl firm's cOlIIDit_nt to client service, which determines
how willinl the firm will be to 10 the extra mile to let the job
done without constant reliance on its professional time clock.
We at Peat Marwick believe that what distinluishes us from most of our
c~etitors is the emphasis we place on these intanlible factors. We are very
proud of this emphasis and want to share our record in this relard with you as
you consider this and other proposals.
Bach consultinl firm has a culture or outlook that colors everythinl it doe8.
This culture is reflected in the personality of its staff, their commitment to
professional service, the warmth and openness of their interaction with the
client, and their productivity. Peat Marwick values and therefore fosters the
tyPe of individual who can effectively interact with other., who is concerned
with the quality of their work, who has deeply inlrained standards of
excellence, and who works hard to achieve their loals. In our recruitment
efforts, we look for people with these traits. We believe that staff with
these characteristics offer the best service to our clients and therefore to
our Firm.
The ability of the Firm to deliver a quality product under tilht deadlines is
perhaps one of the most critical intanlibles, especially on complex projects.
.uch as the one the City contemplates. Our record in this area speaks for
itself. As an example, our work developinl the Sacramento County Sheriff's
Department Information Master Plan was performed on time and within budlet.
We encourale the City to verify this fact relative to each of the enlalements
we list in this proposal or any others the City ..y identify. You will find
that the same thinl is true of ~ach of th... When we bid a scope of work for
a specified budlet, we start with ~.fte premise that we have _de a coa.it..nt
to co.plete the project on time a~d stay within this budlet.
In the final analysis, we 'believe that our Ireatest intanlible asset is our
c~itJDent to client service. Wi:1en conductinl our wort, we were always
willinl to hold an extra meetins, to explain somethinl. We wort the extra
bours. weekends and eveninls required to meet the deadlines to which we alree,
and we do not ask for additioul compensation for these services. We will
provide these services to the City on our own ti.. because we believe it is
i.,artant to our client and a true reflection of our co..itment to service.
Peat Marwick prides itself in beinl a firm that delivers c~prehensive
products on time and within budlet. We have earned this reputation as a
result of our preliminary planninl and realistic assessment of the
professional time required to perform project tasts, manale our project
responsibilities, and efficiently respond to project issues.

need. a..e....nt., a. described in Section II of this propo.al. Our approacb
to co.plex project. .uch as your. is outlined in the work plan and consi.t. of
a series of major pha.es.
1-3
The first three phases will consist of an evaluation and prioritization of
Jour computer needs, determination of specific automation applications by
department and an analysis of available alternatives. These phases of our
work plan will focus specifically on the requirements of the existing system
users. We will review the operations of the current system, examine each
portion of the system, determine functional requirements for improvement or
replacement systems, define and evaluate alternatives for meeting those
requirements, develop recommendations for a specific technical approach, and
assess the impact of the recommendations on the current division. We will
:ldentify, evaluate and prioritize future computer applications. These
applications will be compared to current systems and those planned for future
lapleMntation. We will then present a comprehensive report of our Data .
Services findings and recommendations. This report builds upon the
deliverables of the first two phases.
We will identify both positive and negative aspects of the current system as
part of our assessment of your automation needs. A cost versus benefit
ianalysis will be an integral part of our conclusions.
lOur proposed work plan for Phases I through III, Needs Assessment, is detailed
in Section II of this proposal.
Peat Marwick has found that the natural progression from needs assessment to
development of a request for proposal and on through project implementation is
best conducted by the same consultant. The consultant who reached the
conclusions is naturally the best qualified to see them through implementation.
Based upon our conclusions determined during the Needs Assessment phases, we
will proceed with Phase IV of the engagement, the creation of a Request for
Proposal.
Pbase IV will first consist of a review of the City's procurement procedures
and presentation of a number of procurement strategies. These include
Requests for Proposal (most "responsive" bid wins) and mixed strategies, such
as a two-step procurement.
We will then prepare a draft RFP that accurately reflects your procedural as
well as technical requirements. A draft of the RFP will first be sub.itted to
the City for review and modification prior to release.
Phase V will provide consulting services during the proposal evaluations. We
will specifically provide support to the City.
ODee a 98Dd0r ~ been selected, Peat Marwick is available, on an optional
basis, to coa4uct 'hase VI of the project which would include contract
"lOtiations aDd syst.. !.ple..ntation. This phase offers .cnitoring and
evaluation of the system installation, acceptance testing, review of training,
development of a physical installation plan and post implementation review.
Our proposed work plan for Phase VI, Contract Negotiations and Implementation,
..y be found in Section II.

I I - PROPOSED WORK PLAN
SCOPE
The scope of our enlalement will include the followinl City Departments or
Functional Areas:
- Risk Manalement
- Fire Department
- Perso~nel
- Finance
- Buildinl and Safety
- Parks, Recreation and Community Services
- Treasurer
- Public Works
- City Administrator
- Police
- Emerlency Services
- Library
- Planninl
- Business License.
We have proposed an expanded scope to this project to include an evaluation of
the City's information system applications ~ telecommunication systems
requirements.
We believe that it is critical that the City .xaaine both, voice and data
c~ication. and information proce..inl requir...nt. in a joint proc....
The.e two resources are so closely linked that it would .erve the City well to
include this evaluation in the scope of this project.
We also offer, at the City's option, to continue service. to the City in
t.plementation planninl and support. While this work has not been included in
the proposed fees, we stronlly urle the City to con.ider the benefit. that may
be delivered from this onloinl technical support.
We have, at the City's discretion, outlined a work plan that assumes a sinlle
RFP vendor selection process. Bowever, ba.ed upon our knowledle of the
pre.ent tecbnololY, the software vendor marketplace, and subsequent to our
alternatives analysis of City information requir.ments, ve may rec~d that
the elt,. aaaine ..utiple vendor avenue.. We .uspect that this may be
necesa&rJ because .ome applications could be more suitable for stand-alone
.y.t.... which could be procured throuah separate proce.se.. We vill vork
clo.ely vith the City in examininl the.e alternative. and selectin, an
acquisition strate,y that viII meet the City'. requirements. Should .or. than
one II! be nece..ary. this vill require adJus~t. to the proj.ct .chedule

II-I
IOBJECTIVES
The objectives for this project are to accomplish the following:
Provide City departmental management and staff with the opportunity
to define their information requirements and priorities
Identify cost-effective solutions, available from present
technology, that may be implemented within reasonable timelines
Provide technical guidance and support to the City in refining
information requirements and selecting a qualified vendor.
WORlC PLAN
Peat Marwict's proposed wort plan for this engagement closely follows the
City's five major project phases. The commensurate phases are listed below:
Phase I - Conduct Computer Needs Assessment
Phase II - Define Departmental Requirements and Applications
Phase III Analyze Alternatives and Outline Recoanended System
Solutions
Phase IV - Prepare the Request for Proposal
Phase V - Evaluate Vendor Responses and Recommend Vendor.
Phase VI Provide Vendor Negotiation and Implementation Support
(Optional)
In addition, ve have outlined tasks fro. an optional Phase VI to Provide
Veodor Nelotiation and Implementation Support. WhUe ve have not included the
wort for Pbase VI vi thin our proposed fees, we believe the City should
coneider including this Phase vi thin the contract, as it vill provide the City
vith onloing technical support in the critical implementation phase.
Bach phase vi11 be performed as a series of subtasks and steps, and vill
result in the c~letion of a discrete product or deliverable.
Pbase I - Conduct Co.puter Heeds Assessment
Before we are able to make any reco...ndations to the City on alternative
solutione, we aast thoroughly understand your current situation, operatinl
envirou.ent and applications. Phase I is intended not only to kick off the
project but also to allov us to lain an in-depth understandinl of your
requireMftts, as detailed be10v.
II-2
Task 1.1 - Initiate the Enaaaement
The first task of the engal...nt will include an orientation for City
staff who will be involved with the study. During this orientation
..etinl, we will introduce the Peat Marwick Project Team, review and
finalize the project work plan and schedule, and clarify project
responsibilities. This task will include the following steps:
Conduct Orientation Meetin.
This .eeting will represent the first opportunity for the Peat
Marwick Project Team to discuss the project work plan and schedule
with City staff in a noncompetitive environment. It will afford us
the opportunity to clarify phases and tasks, obtain City input on
key issues, and identify City personnel to be involved in sub&eq~ent
steps. We anticipate that at the conclusion of this meeting, all
input necessary to finalize the work plan and schedule will be made
available, and that the work plan schedule and reporting
requirements will be finalized.
Finalize Proiect Work Plan and Schedule
Durinl this step, we vill update and finalize the work plan and
schedule based upon the City's input. In addition, ve will confirm
meetina dates and times and vill belin the process of notifying City
staff of scheduled meetings.
Task 1.2 - Evaluate Current Syste.
The primary objectives of Task 1.2 will be to identify and assess the
current syst.. capabilities. Durinl this task, we vill doc~nt current
capabilities, hardware utilization, and doc~ntation, and will assess
the current work environment. This task is divided into two steps,
described below.
Assess Current Environment
Me~ers of the Peat Marwick Project Tea. will work with City
personnel to document the current auto.ated system environment. The
teaa members will inventory all hardware used by the system, list
current features, and dete~ine specific syst.. strenlths and
weaknesses.
Fro. interviews with your staff frOll various user depart_nts, we
will dete~ine the status of the present application develo~nt and
impl_ntation. Further, we will exaaine which depart.nts require
further automation, and also will review the leneral requirements
for office automation and telec~ications syst... support.
DeveloD Current System Overview
The current system overview docu.ent will provide . description of
the current system capabilities, their use, the clata ..lntained, its
source and disposition, the status of available doc~ntation,
hardware utilized, and interactions with other s,ste...

applications, the applications requiring enhancements and the future
application. desired. Th. overviev vill also identify the overall
loal. and objectives for .ystem development for each department and
vill allov .ach department to a..ian rank order priorities to the
application development.
Deliverable:' User Deoartment Need. Assessment Document, which
provide. a profile of the exi.ting .nvironment hardware and software
and identifies information requirement. defined by user..
Pbaae II - Define Departmental R.quirements and Applications
The primary objectives of Phase II are to identify needed operational and
functional requirements. Upon completion of this phase, ve will have
.ufficient information regarding current information requirements to identify
.pecific function. of the system in need of nev automation, procedural
chaoses, or modification of exi.ting capabilities. The information needs
a.....ment ta.k vill con.ist of the steps described belovo
From the Computer Need. Assessment conducted in Phase I, we will derive
general application requirements applicable to the needs defined by the
users. Further, for each application, we will assian the priority ranking
that i. appropriate for implementation. Departmental interface requirements
viII also be defined.
Deliverable: Department Requirements Document, vhich extends the User
Department Need. Asse..ment to a listinl of application., which ve deem will

Task 3.1 Evaluate Technical Alternatives
We vill d.fine alternatives for meetina the City's functional
r.quirements. Where sianificant alternative. exist, we will evaluate the
alt.rnatives in terms of co.t and benefits. This vill include developina
specific recommendations and implementation priorities.
Durina this task, we vill also-identify and provide the City vith a list
of qualifi.d vendors to receive the RFP.
Task 3.2 Assess Impact
We vill assess the impact of our recommendation on the City in terms of
cost, implementation, timeliness, l.vel of benefit, ability to maintain
the syste., and potential oraanization and staff impact. Based upon the
results of this task, we will prioritize the recommendations and finalize
the implementation approach.
Deliverable: Alternatives Analysis Document, vhich details, by
application, the cost/benefits for implementation and the beat technoloay
suited for cost/effective implementation.

Ta.k 4.2 Develop Reque.t for Propo.al
P.rtinent portion. of the Need. As....ment Study will be modified to
beco.e the Technical Requirement. .ection of the RFP..
At th. end of this ta.k, the procurement .trateIY, boilerplate, and
technical requirements will be intelrated and pre.ented to the City as
the draft RFP for final review and modification. Once updated, the
finalized RFP will be relea.ed to previously identified, qualified
vendor. .
Task 4.3 Conduct Vendor. Conference
If the City so de.ir.., we will conduct the v.ndor conf.renc.. We
recommend that a vendor conference be held, .ince it will provide an
excellent opportunity to identify any po..ible inconsistencies or
inaccuracies in the RFP. It al.o provide. an opportunity to meet with
the vendors in a formal, controlled environment.
Ta.k 4.4 Re.pond to Vendor Inquirie.
It is anticipated that over the course of the bid cycle, clarifications
will need to be provided. We will work with the City to re.pond to
vendor.' reque.ts for additional information or clarification.
Deliverable: The Request for Proposal.
Phase V - Evaluate Vendor Responses and Recommend Vendor
The vendor evaluation process requires careful planninl and thoroulh analysis
of vendor proposals. We accomplish a c~lete and fair a.se..ment of vendor
qualifications throuah e.tablishinl vendor ratinl standards. These standards
for evaluatinl the vendors are based upon the City's info~tion proce.sinl
priorities and cost/effective technololical solutions.
This Pba.e involves the followinl ta.ks:
Ta.k 5.1 Prepare Proposal Review/Evaluation Strategy
Prior to the due date of the proposal, we will define our evaluation
.trix. We will also prepare a cOllpliance checkli.t for City personnel
to dete~ine t..ediate disqualification for nont.chnical rea.ons (i.e.,
uaable to provide bondinl and the like). Durinl this task, we will work
with the C~ty to determine if vendor d.-onstrations, reference checks, or
installed site visits would be advantaleous to the evaluation proce.s.
ODc. the proposals have been subllitted, they will be evaluat.d using an
evaluation MtriX. The evaluation .trix will be used primarily to
define technical co.pliance. Other factors, such as iaplementation
schedules, vendor reputation aDd cost, will also factor into the
.valuation.
II-6
"
Task 5.2 Conduct Vendor Evaluation
Durina this task, we will co~re vendor proposals with the evaluation
criteria, and will participate in vendor reference site visits,
de.onatrations and/or presentations, as deemed appropriate by the City.
(Tbe d~tDaof this task is variable, dependinl upon the number of
propoMla received.)
Tast 5.3 Presentation of Final lesults and Conclusions
Evaluation results will consist of a rankinl of the vendors and a summary
of our flndinls and conclusions. We will be available to report our
findinls and conclusions to the City Council, if so desired.
Pbase VI - Provide Vendor NeRotiation and I~l...ntation SuPDOrt (ODtional)
At the City's option, Peat Marwick will be prepared to assist the City in
review and nelotiation of the contract, project implementation. project
_nalement and post-implementation review. The types of service available,
should the City determine a need for continued support, are defined in the
followine tasts. We will submit a proposed work plan, schedule and fees for
this work, at the City's request, upon vendor selection.
Tast 6.1 - Support Contract Neaotiations
We will ..sist the City in nelotiatine a contract with the selected
vendor. (Note, however, that Peat Marwick is not a law firm and is
precluded by law from offerine leeal auidance or advice.) We will assist
the City with specific vendor perfo~nce issues, such as traininl, te~
and conditions, warranty, paYment schedule, licenses, modifications, and
documentation.
Task 6.2 - Imolementation SUPpOrt
After contract sipine, we are prepared to work with the City and vendor

of
flow.
In
Support Tools
In 1984, Peat Marwick was the first accounting firm to make a national
commitment to incorporating personal computers into the standards by which
audits are conducted. Through a special arrangement with Apple Computer,
5,500 Macintosh computers have been delivered by Peat Harwick's staff. More
importantly, prior to the release of the Macintosh, Peat Harwick worked with
Apple in the development of the user-friendly software which eventually made
the Macintosh famous. Peat Harwick supplemented the software available on the
Hacintosh with internally developed software designed specially to support
certain types of engagements.
IV-3
Peat Harwick's consul~ants use many tools and techniques to diagnose
producti~ity and quality problems and opportunities. Some of the tools used
and a brief description of each follow:
SPANS (Structured Productivity Analysis System) - SPANS is a new,
flexible approach to productivity analysis in government and public
educational institutions. SPANS is a microcomputer-supported
methodology which points out high-cost activities, job
fragmentation, misplaced activities, spans of control issues, and
unnecessary and redundant activities. SPANS is an excellent tool
for examining overhead, facilitating the merger of two similar
activities and general productivity diagnosis.
PEAT (Productivity Evaluation and Analysis Techniques) - PEAT is a
four-module methodology and approach that identifies opportunities
for improvement. It is an excellent tool for an organization that
is just entering into productivity or quality improvement and needs
a broad scope, as well as some immediate results.
TARGET - examines an organization's white-collar head count and pay
levels, comments on which populations are susceptible to which kinds
of productivity or quality improvement, and suggests where to
conduct pilots for an organization's new productivity and quality
improvement programs.
PAPER (Professional and Administrative Productivity Evaluation
Report) - PAPER is a self-review process to improvement from over 20
different productivity techniques. It helps managers commit to an
improvement goal. In addition, the organization learns the patterns
of individual shortfall areas in various departments.
CAPE (Computer-Assisted Productivity Evaluation) - CAPE is a survey
methodology incorporating College Board-type score sheets, which are
read directly into a personal computer for Lmmediate analysis. The
questionnaires can be generic, but the current process is aligned
around identifying office activities, which can be improved through
office automation or by identifying perceptions of the quality of
office support systems.
EQUIP (Employee Quality Improvement Process) - EQUIP teaches
employee teams over SO techniques that they can use to improve
productivity, quality of work and the quality of their work lives.
EQUIP is a sophisticated employee involvement program which changes
the blockages in corporate culture, and is designed specifically to
unlease creativity.
TECH SCAN (Technical and Social Communication Analysis) - TECH SCAN
is a methodology and family of tools that analyze first the physical
work flow, and then the way the formal and informal organization
structure enhance or impede the process. The resultant redesign has
a better chance for acceptance, longevity, and flexibility than
either a purely technical or an organizational approach can achieve
alone.
IV-4
MICROSIEP (Micro Self-Logging Time Evaluation Program) - MICROSTEP
is a microprocessor-supported data gathering technique that
automates time ladders and assigns standard times to tasks or group
activities on the basis of modal analysis.
MODAPIS (Modular Arrangement of Predetermined Time Standards) - The
MODAPTS methodology utilizes highly simplified but accurate standard
time values so that industrial engineers, supervisors, or led clerks
can assign time standards to actual or proposed jobs. MODAPTS is
also a powerful but simple tool for use in assigning standards for
repetitive activities.
Staff Training
Peat Harwick recognizes that the training provided by most colleges and
universities provides a good foundation of conceptual knowledge, but does not
provide graduates with a working knowledge of the corporate and government
world and the information needed to be effective in the business advisory
environment. To address this gap in knowledge, Peat Harwick developed a
formalized training program.
Our Professional Development Department, responsible for developing Peat
Harwick training programs, is staffed by 65 full-time professionals and has an
annual budget of $40 million. In the United States, Peat Harwick offers over
150 training courses to our people, and more than 500 Peat Harwick
professionals participate as instructors.
All of our systems development professionals have had a significant number of
years of experience prior to joining Peat Harwick. Our training program has
been built with this in mind. Our training does not need to focus on basic
data processing principles, because our philosophy of using experienced
professionals on analysis and development engagements. Our training hours are
for the seasoned professional and are of a very high quality. They are not
intended for basic learning. This experience factor is critical in the
success of systems analysis engagements.
Highlights of the important training offered by Peat Harwick include:
Systems Development Life Cycle
Systems Development Project Hanagement
Consulting Skills Workshop
Consulting Hanagement Skills
Effective Oral Presentation
Effective Written Communications.
In addition to these internal courses, Peat Harwick supplements its formalized
program for staff training from vendor organizations, universities and
technical institutes. All Peat Harwick employees are required to participate
in continuing professional education, regardless of whether or not they are
Certified Public Accountants.
IV-5
The primary objective of all of this training is to provide our clients with
services of the highest possible quality.
Practice Guides
Each of our specialized industry practices uses practice guides to provide
professionals with information unique to the industry. The Office Information
System Practice Guide is a multivolume publication intended to be used as a
guide by Peat Marwick's management consultants supporting office systems
analysis. Specifically supporting custom software development engagements are
two manuals produced by Peat Marwick's Information Systems Services practice.
These two manuals, the System Development Manual and the System
Development Project Manual, provide Peat Marwick professionals with a
structured approach to software development. These manuals and supporting
documentation contains Peat Marwick standards for custom software development
engagements.
PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Exhibit IV-l at the end of this section, summarizes some selected prior
engagements in the area of governmental information systems. The engagements
are listed alphabetically by client, with the type of engagement and type of
client summarized by category.
We have provided name and telephone number references for the more recent and
relevant engagements.
