Executive Summary
Virtually all local authorities in Ireland have some form of intranet. Since all
local authorities have similar needs, there is an excellent opportunity to share in the
development of intranet-based tools and reports. Mayo County Council therefore
proposes that interested local authorities come together in cooperation with the LGSB to
develop a number of agreed small intranet-based applications which would be shared out
among participating local authorities. It is intended that each participating local authority
spend no more than 2 full development weeks in building applications (this might mean
that the number of applications developed by each authority may vary between 1 and 5).
The project will allow all participating authorities to greatly leverage their effort.
For example, if 15 local authorities were to participate, then a total of 30-60 applications
would be available to each local authority (depending upon the number of applications
each authority agrees to build). This will prove to be extremely cost-effective and will
help to eliminate duplication of effort between authorities. If the project is successful and
there is interest among participating authorities, then a second development round can be
considered.
It is likely that local authorities who cannot participate in this project may be
interested in acquiring these applications. This issue must be decided by the HIS group
and may involve some form of one-off payment which could be distributed between
group members and/or used to purchase graphic design work, etc. to improve the web
part suite.
Proposed Process
Project Plan
It is proposed that steps 1-3 will be completed by the end of 2008, steps 4 and 5
by mid-Feb 2009 and steps 6-9 by the end of April 2009.
To make all developed applications as universal as possible, each web part should
be built as follows:
