This would be a potential replacement for some of the keypunch processes. We hope to begin a pilot in May with production implementation scheduled for Fall of 1999. We average approximately 160 users daily with nearly 6,000 hits per day. Implementation of the DB2 conversion has been delayed to allow for additional performance tuning. Pro Card and Office Depot have been implemented and are currently in pilot mode.
Usage continues to be monitored.
This project to provide online vendor catalogs and a web front end to PAC continues to await final approval and funding. We have visited the LA County implementation of Commerce One and have learned a lot. PAC has recently been added to the QDB in test. Reporting requirements are being reviewed. Work is currently progressing on the data dictionary.
