Agenda Automation Attachment B <br />Functional Gaps in Current Commercial Agenda <br />Automation Solutions <br />Preliminary Findings <br />May 3, 2011 <br />Information Technologies <br />Background <br />A group of County staff from Information Technologies, the Manager's Office and the <br />Clerk's Office have been reviewing software requirements for Agenda Automation. The <br />group has also participated in several detailed vendor demonstrations. At this group's <br />request, vendors tailored their demonstrations around the list of functional requirements <br />generated by the group. <br />The research to date has shown there are several promising software solutions that will <br />meet many of the requirements we have presented. However, there remain some areas <br />where these requirements may be met, but not in a satisfying fashion. <br />Although this research continues, and a complete solution may yet emerge, we wanted to <br />give you preliminary fmdings. <br />Navigation Layouts <br />We anticipate the Board and the public will want a hyperlinked outline of a meeting <br />agenda in a persistent window within the computer screen, while the item being presently <br />reviewed will show in the main body of the window, as mocked up below: <br />17 <br />BOCC Meeting May 10, 2011 Page 1 <br />
