Award a contract to CDCE, Inc. for NetMotion Wireless Mobility software
and maintenance in an annual amount not to exceed $17,367.
DISCUSSION
The Information Services Division (ISD) of the Finance and Management
Services Agency is responsible for providing wireless data
communication services and related infrastructure for Citywide use. To
ensure the highest possible quality mobile computing service, ISD
requires licensing of specialized wireless mobility software. The
software will provide centralized, flexible tools for managing
applications, devices, and users in a wireless network environment, and
allow ISD to have more complete control over the City's mobile
computing environment.
Current agencies utilizing wireless data include the Santa Ana Police
Department, the Santa Ana Public Library, and the Planning and Building
Agency. The Police Department uses wireless data communication to
provide mobile access in patrol vehicles and other computerized law
enforcement-related systems; the Library uses wireless data
communication to connect its bookmobile to the Library's management
software; and the Planning and Building Agency is in the early stages
of using wireless data communication to support field operations. In
addition, other agencies are currently developing computer systems that
will use wireless data communications for mobile access to their
systems.
