Summary: The Bureau of Technology is requesting authorization from the Board of Commissioners to amend contract no. 2012-18385 with Applications Software Technology LLC, (AST) to continue to manage the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) platform. AST was recently acquired by International Business Machines Corporation (IBM). The ESB hosts data exchanges that securely moves sensitive data between County criminal justice offices and external partners. If approved, this amendment will take advantage of the two optional renewal years remaining in the agreement. The platform has enabled seamless interoperability with standards-based integration, automation, and business process reengineering. The ESB is a very successful program and has led to many improvements like the Automated Court Reminder System (ACRS) and end-to-end tracking of the First Appearance Court processes which include requirements from the Pretrial Fairness Act. The Cook County Criminal Justice partners have agreed to continue to leverage the ESB as a platform to automate the exchange of data between key justice agencies, which includes pushing data to a new data warehouse. By leveraging the existing ESB the overall cost to implement additional data exchanges is lower given our ability to leverage existing components for agencies that actively participate in the ESB program.
This contract was awarded through Task Order Request (TOR) procedures in accordance with the Cook County Procurement Code.
