The tool is to be accessed via a DHS server and should have the ability to hold contact information, produce reports, and handle mass emailing/mailing(s). The tool should be scalable for multiple users with no changes to infrastructure or major alterations to the tool as IGA projects staff growth over the expected period of performance of this order and provide a customizable reporting capability. The projected growth is 14 licenses to start and growth to 40 licenses. DHS intends to have the vendor set up the tool and migrate the records from the existing Microsoft Access database and provide training to its users.
