SIS
was selected by the City of Houston to provide
consulting support and advisory services to
assist the City in the development of
requirements for a new, fully integrated
city-wide administrative system. Called system 2000, the
City’s new application is to be based on
state-of-the-art technology incorporating
client-server, relational databases, Graphical
User Interfaces (GUI), ad-hoc user reporting
tools, imaging, Internet access, and electronic
data interchange. In addition, System 2000 will
also incorporate new business processes, and will
result in a complete redesign of City
administrative functions.
The System 2000 effort
will be a multi-year initiative and one of the
first comprehensive efforts to modernize the
basic operations of a large City Government.
On this complex,
large-scale system development effort, SIS acted
the lead project advisor and consultant to the
Comptroller, MIS and other large City
departments.
