Gaming Control Commission Seeks Vendor Input on Regulatory System

The commission is seeking information from vendors on cloud-based software-as-a-service solutions that meet the needs of the agency’s regulatory, licensing and enforcement activities.

The Florida Gaming Control Commission (FGCC) has issued a request for information (RFI) from vendors to provide a regulatory, licensing and enforcement system solution.

According to the solicitation, the commission wants to learn more about the cost of such a project, system availability, scale and feasibility to help it seek funding for a new regulatory system.

Currently, FGCC relies on an OnBase document management system to handle pari-mutuel license documentation and a sister agency’s licensing system to issue and manage 34 pari-mutuel license types.

Based on this experience, the agency looks to implement a system with the following features:
  • Configurability and deployment: Easily configurable and deployable to accommodate changes 
  • User interface: Fully compatible with mobile devices, including Apple and Android, and easy to maintain 
  • Hosting options: Flexible, cost-effective hosting options, including public cloud   
  • API service layer: Modern, secure web application programming interface for back-end interaction 
  • Workflow solution: Streamlined business processes across multiple groups   

“Since FGCC assumes a multi-phase implementation, pricing should differentiate the cost per phase,” along with any other one-time fees, subscriptions and per-user costs, the RFI states.

Other implementation costs, such as migrating data from existing systems, ongoing post-implementation expenses, and licensing terms and conditions, should also be included in vendor responses.

More information about RFI-09936 can be found online. All vendor proposals are due at 5 p.m. Sept. 26.
