C /-=~={///~. / /--- I EXHIBIT "A" Create system tools to periodically perform system cleanup and therefore insure that each system is running at an optimum level. Define and implement security on all computer systems within the city. The definition should arrive at a degree of security that allows adequate protection of data and programs from unauthorized access, but does not hinder any user from preforming their daily work. Assist both internal and outside auditors in reviewing the financial and other controls as it relates to data processing systems and to insure that the systems are preforming accurately. Prepare written material and work guide lines for any future operational personnel, and train the initial operational personnel. Evaluate all vendor proposals for automation as an independent source using the "best interest of the city" as the primary goal for the evaluation. Manage and oversee the conversion of the existing software used on the AS/400 from a S/36 environment to a native execution format. In doing so, any custom features or calculations that have been incorporated into the existing systems must be brought forward and tested thoroughly. By doing so the City will realize the benefit of the enhanced version of the system, and utilize the operating efficiency of the native format. Conduct education for city personnel in user related system commands for the AS/400. users have to this point received only limited and informal training on system use. Organize and configure the system to control system output. At the current time on the AS/400 the majority of the printed output is directed to one of two high speed printers located in the computer room. Their output is many times mixed and confused with others. By dividing the users into work groups (along departmental organizational lines), the output can be identified with a cover page, and then placed in a specific area near the printers. Page 2 Create procedures to insure that timely and continuous backup copies of all data and program products are done. This would include the systems throughout the city (i.e. Police, Library, Fire) and will also include personal computers. Most personal computers in use in the city at this time are not backed up in a sufficient manner that would guarantee that user could recover from a hardware failure. Assist in application software development and/or acquisition. Most of the application software currently in use is mature and meets the needs of the end users, in that it helps them get their daily work done, and gives them the informational reporting they desire. However, in some areas product enhancement or replacement may be required dependent upon future requirements yet to be determined. Plan and assist in the implementation of areas within the city related to connectivity between users and the multiple computers currently in use. .L
