Explanation
BACKGROUND: This Ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify and increase an existing contract with SPL WorldGroup, Inc. (now Oracle Corporation), for a post-implementation assessment of the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) installed and being used by all divisions of the department. The assessment report will document interviews and provide a summary of potential adjustments to business processes, application configuration and will provide additional end-user training. Based on the findings in the assessment report, the City of Columbus may need to procure further services from Oracle Corporation to address any of the recommendations identified in the assessment report.

This Ordinance also officially recognizes the company name change from SPL WorldGroup, Inc. to Oracle Corporation and authorizes the Public Utilities Director to assign all past, present, and future City of Columbus business transactions with SPL WorldGroup, Inc. to Oracle Corporation as required by the City Auditor.
