FOR AN AUTOMATED SOFTWARE SOLUTION TO SUPPORT THE PUBLISHING PROCESS
THIS IS NOT A BID SOLICITATION.
INTRODUCTION
Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) seeks to understand the level of capability and interest in the industry in providing a commercial off-the-shelf software (COTS) Software Solution to support its scientific and technological (S&T) publication process.
Defence R&D Canada (DRDC) is an Agency of the Canadian Department of National Defence. DRDC responds to the scientific and technological (S&T) needs of the Canadian Forces and of domestic safety and security partners. S&T publications are a key DRDC output. Annual publication volume is about 2500 documents, including formal scientific reports, briefs and letter, external literature papers and reports from contractors and partners.
DRDC is redesigning its S&T publication process. Issues with the current process include:
- Different processes in place at the eight centres across the Agency. The process must be standardized and centralized across all centres.
- Effort is duplicated by different participants in the publication process. Process and budget efficiencies must be built into the system to streamline effort and eliminate duplication.
- Different levels of services and support are available to scientists across DRDC. All scientists must have access to equal levels of service.
- Tighter control of final products must be built into the process to ensure that outputs are fully compliant with rules and regulations (security of information, controlled goods, IP, etc.).
OBJECTIVES
The purpose of this RFI is to provide clear communication of the current service delivery model including the business and technical environment in which DRDC publications are delivered. This document will provide a comprehensive overview of the end state conceptual operating model, and future DRDC publication process requirements.
This project will only focus on review of various Software Solutions to support the scientific and technological (S&T) publication process. The feedback and information received will be reviewed as part of the process of considering a Request for Proposal (RFP).
Any relevant information or knowledge that is relevant to the requirements and questions asked in the attached documentation is welcome. Delivery Date: Above-mentioned
