Three-day medium site assessment

Assessment overview

The three-day site assessment is suitable for medium-sized sites or more complex sites. The three consecutive days is broken into three half-day workshops and three half days that cover data harvesting, assessment, solution analysis and report writing.

The final report assesses the site requirements against the current GovCMS functionality and makes a recommendation for which service offering, SaaS or PaaS, is the best fit.

Cost: $18,800 + GST per site (see breakdown below)

Engagement process

Our three-day site assessment includes three half-day, on-site workshops. The highly collaborative and interactive workshops are run with key stakeholders to understand site requirements and viability. A final one-hour presentation is delivered at a time that suits you (usually conducted remotely).

Outputs

The outputs from the three-day site assessment are:

1. Site functionality matrix: Visual representation of all desired functionality.

2. GovCMS viability matrix: Each functional requirement is classified to determine the level of configuration/customisation, and therefore compliance, with GovCMS SaaS.

3. Solution design: Representing GovCMS solution direction, component architecture, content type specifications and high level design.

4. SaaS vs PaaS evaluation matrix: Identifying which requirements are compliant versus non-compliant for GovCMS and mitigation strategies or alternatives for non-compliant, if required.

5. Project requirements document: Representing scope with accompanying assumptions, risks and mitigations, and development estimates.

6. GovCMS assessment report: Executive summary slide deck for stakeholders representing assessment findings and SaaS vs PaaS recommendation.
