Description

Request for Information (RFI) VA118-17-N-2365 Office of Information and Technology (OI&T) Visualization Development The purpose of this Sources Sought Notice is to search for qualified vendors capable of meeting the requirements as stated within this RFI. Introduction: VA Office of Information Technology (OI&T) requires a proven and immediately available visualization solution to depict Veterans Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA) subsystems, reveal complex interdependencies, identify gaps and redundancies, all mapped to current development and sustainment projects.   Through this analysis and visualization, VA will be able to maximize effectiveness and efficiencies moving forward with the major Electronic Health Record (EHR) modernization transformation effort, as well as validate plans to retain, augment, replace or decommission VistA functionality which is not part of the EHR. Optional visualization requirements include complex and high priority programs such as Benefits Delivery Network, Financial Management Business Transformation, Enterprise Data Architecture Modernization, Data Center Consolidation, Legacy Applications Modernization, and Applications Cloud Migration. Requirements: OI&T requires an existing visualization solution through rapid engineering and analyses of disparate information sources to build visual representations of complex projects, processes and organizations and rapidly deliver a comprehensive work product that captures and thoroughly depicts interdependent operations, projects and systems. The required visualization engineering will use a structured methodology that incorporates functions, skills, processes, finance/funding, accountability, assets, schedule, program management, vision, objectives, and security based on business customer needs to uncover gaps and duplication in processes, and interdependencies of projects and organizations. Working directly with many different aspects of VA, visualization engineers will produce a comprehensive work product that creates a shared understanding in a single view diagram incorporating four to five levels of an organization across multiple dimensions and perspectives.
