2. CHEMS 2003 AREV CHEMS CHEMSPRO AdHoc Reporting County Requirements

3. AREV CHEMS Platform –Relatively stable with a few exceptions Novell 4 - 6.x or Windows Server About half & half - Novell is the most stable Must contact me for the correct drivers –Workstations can be 95/98/NT/2K/XP Windows 2000 has been very stable –If it isn’t broke… Don’t fix it! Don’t upgrade, Don’t migrate You won’t need a server for CHEMSPRO

4. AREV CHEMS Program –Last minor release was 4.58 (LOS Report) –Next release will probably be for ‘04 rates Level of Service (LOS) changes Investigating state material ID numbers –Continue to use the website to download Seems to be working pretty well

5. AREV CHEMS Retro Pay –Do nothing else on retro posting dates –Use different posting dates for each year –For Example: Just settled now for 2002 and 2003 Post 2002 on Saturday, 2003 on Sunday If you must combine, keep current year separate

6. AREV CHEMS Fleet Maintenance – is it true… –Most counties are using the EQP_PM_SCN You would like history when something clears –No counties are using the EQP_RPO_SCN We don’t plan to convert any RPO information –Strong feelings about fleet maintenance? Converting this now so follow up with me

7. AREV CHEMS Any questions on AREV CHEMS? –Retro ? –Fleet ? –Program or Platform ?

8. CHEMSPRO Review Goals –Convert what you have now Windows environment Enterprise level database (Oracle) Common platform –2 nd phase for enhancements Statewide reporting CHEMS Board driven features

9. CHEMSPRO Let’s take a look

10. CHEMSPRO Conversion Status –Research, data model & data conversion Automated Oracle Export/Import in place –Coding screens & reports Focused on setup screens & reports Audit trail reports – period end / invoicing Posting screens & processes –AdHoc reporting tool 1 st production version available

11. CHEMSPRO Conversion I think I’m about half way –The figuring it out, framework is done –Migration process is in place –Cut loose about 2 years ago –50 % Time goes to support / 50% development –No guarantee ready in 2 years Support dictates my timeline External factors play a part You can be the judge by participating…

12. CHEMSPRO Participate in the process –All counties should send in AREV CHEMS Upload or send in a CD with your system on it http://www.graytech.ws/upload.html Tests the conversion – missing items are caught Becomes an offsite backup for you Can run CHEMSPRO / AdHoc if you wish –Follow the Alpha development notes Share your opinions with me or Alpha sites (fleet)

13. CHEMSPRO County Requirements –Server Central server in Madison, you don’t need one –Workstation Decent PC running Microsoft Windows –Internet Good Internet connection, DSL or better “LAN Based” through your courthouse (T1) Dial-up works but it’s pretty slow

14. CHEMSPRO Looking Forward To… –Running a report twice an getting the same results –Transactional database, no more little ‘2’s –No more problem with.0001 &.00010 –Run multiple sessions on one PC –Support from a central location –Server crashes, upgrades or corruptions –Hardware / Windows issues should be non-existent –Work from any Internet connection (shop or home?) –Royalty free, install CHEMSPRO anywhere

15. CHEMSPRO 2 nd Phase –Endless AdHoc reporting options –Scott / Dave get real-time county cost data –3 rd party tools & training available –Report archives, scheduled jobs and offloads –Devices like Palm Pilot or truck equipment –Integration with other applications –Streaming updates –Multiple platforms, wireless connectivity?
