Description: The purpose of this Request is to acquire the following quantity/description is required: This task defines the tasks required to integrate COTS Plateau Systems' training information system and Asymetrix Learning Systems' Librarian to serve as a unified system for the delivery, scheduling, tracking, and management of both on-line and classroom training. This integration concept can serve as a basis for funding a "proof of concept" integration effort which will meet the following goals:Provide the Air Force with a conclusive and demonstrable non-production integration of the two products sufficient to justify inclusion of this approach with a production system such as OTMS or EMS. Provide Asymetrix and Plateau with the necessary intellectual property to justify a commercial "productization" of an integrated Plateau/Librarian. 2.0 BACKGROUND AETC/XPRI is fielding the Operations Training Modernization System (OTMS) which will modernize our training and education forces by providing our computer-based tools to help the Operations Training Organizations accomplish their mission. It will utilize COTS hardware and software to systematically modernize specific training functions and locations. Currently, resident student management is performed under OTMS through the Plateau training information system. This system manages student personal information, records training histories, documents and reports a student's status. The future capabilities of OTMS include instructor management, course design, development, delivery and evaluation tools for resident and non-resident students. 3.0 SCOPE OF WORK The contractor shall provide the labor, personnel, equipment, materials, tools, and all things necessary to develop a prototype Plateau/Librarian unified training management system for resident and non-resident students. Based on fiscal constraints, the contractor shall provide pricing data for the proposed effort. 4.0 TASK Upon contract award, the contractor shall develop an integrated prototype that synchronizes many of the shared data entities at the database level, thereby avoiding the need to modify either COTS application. Upon synchronization of shared entities ETS and Asymetrix will develop the process assumptions for the integration concept based on the OTMS process and technical requirements as defined in OTMS contract. The contractor shall propose options for expansion of this system to support prototype integration into the OTMS contact. The contractor shall use Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products whenever possible. The web-based form creation solution shall be windows based and HTML formats to allow multi-user access, with the appropriate security measures (domain, password).
