Framework Agreement - Meeting between SITA and SAGI.<o:p></o:p></P></DIV></DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Dear All,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>This is an open report back on a meeting that took place
yesterday between SITA and myself (as SAGI president) in respect of the
framework agreement that SITA has, that has caused a lot of trouble
lately.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I don’t have time to write a long and lengthy report back,
but the meeting was very positive. At the core of the outcomes is the
following;<o:p></o:p></P>
<OL style="MARGIN-TOP: 0in" type=1>
<LI class=MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst
style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo3"><SPAN
lang=EN-ZA>The GIS community needs to draw up a matrix of software and
functionality available.<o:p></o:p></SPAN>
<LI class=MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle
style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo3"><SPAN
lang=EN-ZA>The matrix will then be classified onto the G-Commerce system with
its applicable codes.<o:p></o:p></SPAN>
<LI class=MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle
style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo3"><SPAN
lang=EN-ZA>SAGI then prepare regional workshops on all the software available
and documentation on standard tender criteria – such workshops should rather
be styled as a Forum that regularly takes place to engage SITA, Municipalities
and Organs of state on Software and tender processes.<o:p></o:p></SPAN>
<LI class=MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle
style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo3"><SPAN
lang=EN-ZA>SITA will make available time for us to Workshop all the software
options to its employees and encourage participation in the
forum.<o:p></o:p></SPAN>
<LI class=MsoListParagraphCxSpLast
style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo3"><SPAN
lang=EN-ZA>The matrix will then be referred to the requester when they make a
request for software to SITA.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></LI></OL>
<P class=MsoNormal>The meeting lasted 1 hour and was very informative. SITA was
very willing to help as I think they got the message that the matter was not
going to go away – in fact if they don’t resolve it, it will be escalated. The
process is a bit fluid and will be firmed up in a strong working relationship
between the profession and SITA as this progresses.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The GIS community now need to, in my view, elect a few people
to work on a task force that can draw up a matrix and assist with other tender
related documentation, best practice in putting out a tender etc..
etc….<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>It is <U>roughly</U> planned that the first workshop with
SITA officials will take place in about 3 months’ time.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I have been working with Gavin Fleming somewhat on the issues
– so he is aware of yesterday’s meeting.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Regards<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
