Application Analysis The Service Provider will need to understand many different application development platforms and databases, and when it is appropriate, to use each. The Service Provider may need to interview users in departments and document business requirements.

Microsoft Access (utilizing VBA coding standards) The City of Fort Collins has many existing Microsoft Access databases. Many have been migrated to Microsoft Access 2002. A Service Provider will need to be familiar with VBA programming in Microsoft Access to modify and support existing databases or creating new ones. The Service Provider will be responsible for documenting any modifications or new applications. Microsoft .Net The City of Fort Collins is pursuing integrating the Microsoft.Net platform in a Visual Basic/Visual Studio environment into its application development standards. A Service Provider will be experienced with developing .Net programs with Oracle and SQL Server back -ends in a Visual Basic/Visual Studio environment. There may also be some reporting using Crystal Reports required. The Service Provider will be responsible for documenting any modifications or new applications along with any knowledge transfer required for the City personnel to support and enhance the system. PHP The City of Fort Collins utilizes PHP as its web scripting development language at the enterprise level.
