Based on our <br />meeting last week, we understand that the City is seeking the services of a professional technology <br />management consulting firm to partner with the City to conduct a comprehensive needs assessment, RFP <br />process, vendor evaluation and selection, and negotiation of a contract for the procurement of a <br />replacement ERP system. <br />Since 1996, SDI has worked with more than 200 public sector agencies to plan, procure, implement, and <br />operate technology. More specifically to the City's needs, SDI has worked with more than SO similar -sized <br />public agencies to help them assess, procure, select, and implement new ERP systems. As an example, SDI <br />is currently providing, or recently completed, ERP projects at the following municipalities: <br />• City of Alameda <br />• City of Chino Hills <br />• City of Fremont <br />• City of Glendale <br />• City of Merced <br />• City of Redwood City <br />• City of San Ramon <br />• City of Vacaville <br />• City of Burlingame <br />• City of Davis <br />• City of Fresno <br />• City of Half Moon Bay <br />• City of Ontario <br />• City of Rohnert Park <br />• City of Seal Beach <br />• City of Vernon <br />• City of Carson <br />• City of Dublin <br />• City of Gilroy <br />• City of Manhattan Beach <br />• City of Redlands <br />• City of San Bernardino <br />• City of Sunnyvale <br />• City of Walnut Creek <br />To complete this project, SDI will utilize a proven and structured project management approach to ensure <br />the successful procurement of a new ERP system, while minimizing potential project risks and disruption <br />to the City's daily operations. <br />We are confident that when you review our proposal you will agree that SDI brings the experience, <br />expertise, resources, and tools to assist the City with this important project. SDI is prepared to undertake <br />the project upon contract execution. If you have any questions or require additional information, please <br />feel free to contact me at periffin@sdipresence.com or by telephone at 714-975-4150.
