The contract term for this procurement is two years with three optional one-year extensions. The center will accept proposals until Nov. 29 and is scheduled to release a Notice of Intent to Award on Dec. 7.
According to the RFP, the selected vendor will provide implementation services, post-implementation support and Master Data Management deployment. These integration services will ultimately create a data exchange framework for CCCTC’s technology initiatives, allowing seamless communication between systemwide applications and local college student information systems.
The aforementioned data integration projects are related to a series of online education and assessment grants the Chancellor’s Office awarded in 2013 mandating the deployment of certain applications, such as open source application OpenCCC and online application for admissions CCCApply.
CCCTC highlights establishing middleware as a major piece of the center’s integration efforts. Referred to as “Project Glue,” middleware will leverage CCC’s adaptor process (see diagram below) and develop Master Data Management to enable the secure transfer of data.
CCCTC, which is hosted by the Butte-Glenn Community College District, manages specific technology initiatives administered by the California Community College Chancellor's Office for the system’s 113 accredited colleges. Butte College coordinates these initiatives via the CCC Technology Center Grant.
