Topics for Discussion



Benefits of Enterprise-wide
Solution
Value of IHS
Requirements Definition


How we determined the high priority
standards organizations
How we will confirm these high
priority requirements as well as gather
other needs throughout DOE sites

DOE--Current Methodology






22 sites using a mixed bag of
standards and delivery methods
Investment of $1.225 million
Equates to 390 individual “seats”
across all IHS services
IHS Untracked costs of at least
$140,000 in pay-per-view access
Average, per site cost of $55,699
Average, per seat cost of $3,142

Benefits of an Enterprise-wide Solution


Establishes standardized access to current &
historical national standards, which will help DOE
meet its TSP mission statements
Ensures all DOE standards users have access to
a more complete collection of information




Many sites have no access--estimated 70% of DOE
sites without access today
Some sites are using CD-ROM standalone systems
Minimizes the unknown costs incurred by payper-view services (like IHS’ TDX & Global service)
Obtains the highest Return on Investment

Increases DOE compliance and use of external
standards (per OMB Circular A-119 & Public Law
104-113)

The Information Problem
Fortune 500 companies lose $12 billion as a
result of intellectual re-work, substandard
performance, and inability to find
knowledge resources, or the average cost
of $5,000 per worker per year in 1999,
growing to $5,850 in 2003” (“The High Cost
of Not Finding Information,” IDC)

Requirements Definition

To develop a proposal for DOE, we
need the following elements:



Validation of the CORE requirements for DOEwide access.
Validation of the sites that will be included?

How many users?

Possible impact of contractor access?

Type of need at each site.
What are unique requirements at each site--we
can accommodate these in a “sub-account”
license and control the access to just specific
sites.

Requirements Definition, continued
Two sets of “core” requirements were identified
based on the analysis of installed content backed
up by usage reports and conversations with
ESWOG members:
 Core “A” is:
 Core “B” is:




ASTM
ANSI
ASME

ASME BPVC (current
and historical)





IEEE


Military Specifications


Are there others? We
can modify the
content listed in the
survey...

Requirements Definition, continued

Custom Web-based survey was
created by IHS

http://survey.ihs.com/inquisite/html/DOE/doe.htm
l

It includes a customized landing page
for DOE to capture key data points
It then links to the IHS survey if the
respondent needs more than the core
requirements

Implementation of the Survey


The survey will be active for 1 month
We need your support to get the
requirements from as many respondents
as possible--members of
TSP/ESWOG/Technical Librarians/Others?


Technical librarians will be called by IHS
to ensure their input
E-mails from you and IHS can be sent to
respondents with the survey hyperlink
embedded for easy access

Results of the Survey


The results will be compiled by IHS
and delivered electronically via a
web-based meeting (target date is
August 5)
The results will lead to a proposal
developed by IHS to meet these
needs (target date is August 30);
this input will help drive the SOW
and Sole Source Justification

Considerations and Conclusions

The DOE CIO is willing to support the
management and implementation of a DOEwide solution--they apply a 3% fee to do so



Ann Edwards is the COR (301 903 2361)
The DOE CIO will ask each site to contribute
funding to this solution; no mention of their
funding the entire system has been made
Our target for implementation is January
2003 (all IHS contracts that will have
renewed prior will be pro-rated and the
balance applied to the DOE-wide Solution)
