E.1 Prospective Contractor Qualifications 1. Describe your experience providing Migrant Education Databases and how your company meets 5 the minimum requirements set forth in Section 2.2 of the RFP. Include description of the points Contractor’s experience as a whole, as well as the experience of any proposed key staff members who will be assigned to the contract. We are an Arkansas based company, with over twenty years of experience providing Migrant Education Data systems for statewide migrant education programs across thirty states. We have advanced experience in providing flexible and customizable software along with robust services. We designed the system as a Microsoft Windows- and web-based solution to the information needs of states serving migrant children. The system design focuses on a state database as opposed to a national database. This allows the system to be tailored to the unique information needs of a given state. The uniqueness of the system consists mainly in the following three features: 1. We are the only migrant data system customized to the needs of each state. 2. We are the only migrant data system that offers separate, integrated, and complete web and native/desktop applications. The entire MSIX MDE can be entered and maintained solely through either the desktop application or the web application. Any combination of the two is also an option. 3. We are the only migrant data system that combines a web-based system and a tablet system capable of full operation when disconnected from the internet. Our tablet system is designed to function at remote field locations such as farms where no internet is available. The system is tailored to the exact needs of each state. Currently, the system is used by thirty states and no two states maintain the same data. Each state can define information relative to their program without regard to whether other states maintain this information. The alternative is to utilize the “one size fits all” approach where information is the same for all states irrespective of their unique needs. Tailoring of the system is a unique feature not offered by competing software vendors. With a senior developer/president having over twenty-three years of experience and each staff member bringing at least ten years each of related experience, we are supported by a skilled workforce. 1.
