Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Director of Department of Technology to enter into a contract agreement with Gyrus Systems for the renewal of an annual license on behalf of the Human Resources Department for Training Wizard software. The software provides for the scheduling, tracking, data collection and reporting of training classes offered by the citywide training and development office and other city departments. The license also provides for unlimited license users and assists in managing a learning environment, facilitating training events and records, learning management and skills development. The licence also includes a full range of professional services including software support, web access for upgrades, updates and real-time downloads from other Gyrus technology applications such as Knowledgebase. Furthermore, this agreement will provide the resources to ensure proper documentation of all class attendance as proof of compliance with various state and federal laws which require training as a proactive measure for compliance.

FISCAL IMPACT: Expenditures for the Gyrus Systems Training Wizard in 2003 were $19,996 paid by the Department of Technology. Adequate funding was budgeted and is available in the 2004 Department of Technology information services fund. The period of the agreement covers from April 1, 2004 to March 31, 2005.

EMERGENCY: Emergency legislation is requested to expedite authorization of the renewal of the Training Wizard software license needed for city-wide training and compliance with various state and federal laws.
