CONTRACTOR in writing. COUNTY employs a procedure to implement updates, upgrades, and version
releases to a system that is in production use. This forum allows ISD to inform staff (Help Desk,
Network, Server, Database, Security, and Analysts) of upcoming changes to a production system.
CONTRACTOR must inform ISD a minimum of 1 week prior to any planned, non-emergency changes
so that the Change Control Process may be followed.
J. OTHER
Unless otherwise specified, for third-party software, CONTRACTOR shall provide standard
documentation in electronic form (via the Internet or File Transfer Protocol (FTP)).
The system being provided runs in a Local Area Network and Web environment. As such, the
