Basis For Brand Name Requirement: Centurion, Inc. is the only provider of software upgrades and maintenance for their proprietary 3270 mainframe emulation software. Replacement of the software may be possible; however TSO-CL was unable to obtain cost estimates for this. Replacement of the entire IVRS system is estimated at $400,000.00, and would require that both the Cleveland and Indianapolis systems be replaced at a total estimated cost of $800,000.00. Like systems are required for both sites for COOP purposes. Re-writing the applications for the new systems is estimated at $75,000.00 for each site for a total estimated cost of $150,000.00. This is a reasonable estimate however changes in application development software may impact cost. The timeline for replacement of the system is sixteen months from funding availability. Having reviewed all pertinent information available it is believed that retaining maintenance on the existing software is the most reasonable and cost effective alternative at this time.
