Summary: Currently, the Department of Animal and Rabies Control (“DARC”) relies upon an aging

mainframe solution and isolated manual processes to manage documents and content related to its

departmental mandates. The proposed system aims to replace legacy operations with a robust Enterprise

Content Management (“ECM”) platform that is scalable and will grow with DARC’s business needs. The

ECM is also accompanied by a Responsive Design Web Portal that will render across mobile and desktop

devices and transform cumbersome manual processes into automated online services for customers.

The ECM will achieve additional efficiencies by adopting BOT’s Hyland OnBase software standard,

which will provide a centralized solution for managing DARC’s internal operations.

Procurement Code. Hyland Software Inc. was previously awarded a contract through a Request for

Summary: CCRD seeks to replace its current lands record processing and transaction system with a

new technically advanced solution that enables CCRD to achieve its external and internal business goals.

The new solution will encompass all phase of the recording process and adapt to future advances in

technology and changes in CCRD business and operational needs that will enable CCRD to continually

improve it services to the public. The current application is more than 12 years old and has undergone

modest enhancement over time. The current system is limited and outdated in its reporting and

accounting schematics which impacts accuracy and efficiency. The system will enhance our overall

efficiency and bring economies of scale overall.

Enterprise Solutions, LLC. was previously awarded a contract by the Sacramento County, California,

through a Request for Proposals (RFP) process. Cook County wishes to leverage this procurement
