D -- ADP POC James Vandecar, (202) 942-8640. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission anticipates the purchase of CompInfos Corporate LawPack for Windows to meet the Commissions case tracking needs for the large number of enforcement investigation and litigation matters which emanate from the SECs enforcement responsibilities. The Commission believes CompInfos Corporate LawPack is the only commercially available product which presently meets the CommissionsCommisssions requirements. However, other vendors who believe they can meet the requirements identified herein are encouraged to submit a statement of capabilities, and all submissions will be reviewed. Clear and detailed documentation must be provided that specifically addresses each of the requirements. Replies which simply contain product literature or responses of can do or the functionality exists without clearly linking the products capabilities to the specific requirements will be determined unacceptable. The software must be a Windows based, client/server application fully implemented with at least 5multiple clients in a production environment for a minimum of 6 months utilizing the software in a manner akin to the SECs intended application: the core software must be intended and deployed as a case tracking (not correspondence or contact management) system which is accessed by numerous, concurrent users from multiple, geographically dispersed locations with views into identical data. The software must utilize Sybase System 10 or higher as the relational database management system, and use PowerBuilder 3.0 or greater as the client development tool. Distributed and local access to the case tracking system must accommodate the current SEC desktop configuration: 80486 and Pentium workstations with a minimum of 16MB RAM, MS Windows 3.1, MS Office v4.3, the LAN network operating systems employed, Windows NTS (v3.51 or higher) and Novell (3.11 or higher) with IPX/SPX and TCP/IP protocols as standard, the WAN network solution employed, Frame Relay, and the application server environment, UNIX (Solaris 2.4 or higher). The case tracking software must provide extensive functionality in the commercially available, off-the- shelf version, to include, at a minimum: standard, on-line, context-sensitive help features that include table look-up features, pop-up instructions, error messages, system messages and be programmable, by SEC employees, to enable inclusion of SEC-specific help features. The shrink-wrapped client interface must provide data entry validation via look-up tables and user prompts at field, record and screen levels, and the tables must be capable of definition and modification by the system administrator. The software must have current integration with Docs Open 2.5 or higher (the SEC standard for document management) and facilities (programmatic interfaces and table driven properties) that enhance the integration of other software, such as forms processing. On-line search and query functionality shall include wildcard and Boolean searches across databases, as well as user-definable filtering and sorting options for refining or narrowing query results. The system shall provide the ability to view and print information retrieved in summary and detail formats. System generated reports shall include standard, canned reports and ad hoc reporting capabilities that can be easily and readily defined by end- users. Further, the reporting capabilities must be capable of exporting data in various formats (dBase, Lotus, Excel, Access, ASCII and others), interface with Sybase supported query tools (Infomaker, Cognos, Esperant), and have the ability to store, recall and rerun ad hoc reports with output to the users desktop and printer. The core system must provide standard view/add/delete functions and real-time updates, accommodate mandatory input for designated fields on any screen, and store multiple occurrences of data items. Data entry/update capabilities must facilitate navigation among screens with minimal effort (e.g., keystrokes and full mouse support), and provide system translation features that convert mnemonic codes into English correlatives. The core product must be capable of being readily customized by trained end- users to support agency conventions and defined data structures. Further, systemsysten management features shall allow for customization of fields, data attributes, user menus, document views and reports through Windows-based forms or templates. Specifically, the system shall allow for: 1) maintenance of look-up tables, 2) assignment, reassignment and structuring of new fields, and 3) maintenancemanintenance of security/access controls. Core functionality must provide the ability to relate an entity to a case, record the role of an entity to a case, view all cases relating to an entity, maintain historical information on all entities, relate an activity to a case, and identify and correlate the remedy/outcome for all matters. Additional capabilities present in the shrink-wrapped version must include create/modify/delete functions for the following field categories: 1) multiple case matter fields, including matter number and name (long and short), start/close date (centurycontury designations shall be supported), professional staff assigned to the matter and their location, matter type, matter status, matter location, matter comments and matter narrative, 2) activity fields including date, activity type (e.g., document requests, testimony), and activity comments, 3) remedy/outcome fields such as date and outcome type, and 4) entity fields including name, address, social security number, employee identification number and business phone number. Application functionality must allow for aggregation and division of multiple related cases, reassignment of matters, and the capturing and maintenance of the following data elements: 1) multiple events related to a case, 2) multiple entities per case (e.g., judge, staff, defendant, respondent, witness, company, subject experts, 3) multiple dispositions per defendant or respondent, and 4) monetary and non- monetary sanctions. The case tracking system shall provide security at the field, screen and document level, application function security for single users, and partitioningpartioning data for workgroups. There should be layers of access privileges culminating in a Super AdministrationAdminsistration privilege (for example, the senior systems administrator). The system must be scaleable to easily accommodate incremental additions of users, with users being added in varying numbers at different times, up to 1400 users, with at least 130+ concurrent, dispersed users with minimal system performance degradation. The system must have current, thorough (documentation that addresses the specific release of the product, (both whole number and dot revisions), thorough documentation specific to the software version acquired), including end-user guides, system administration manuals and technical documentation, written and taught under the auspices of the vendor (either the vendor itself or vendors who have gone through, and received, explicit licensing to teach the features and usage of the product version.
