DATA SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGY AT FIRST 5 LA In 2010, a Data Systems Integration (DSI) team made up of representatives from all First 5 LA departments was engaged in the strategic planning process to determine what major information- and data-related activities are required throughout the organization to meet our goals. This led to the creation of a new Information Technology department within First 5 LA that reports directly to the Chief Administrative Officer and is headed by a Director of Information Technology. The DSI team hired an Information and Technology Planning Consultant to help our organization match our technology investments to our information needs. This consultant was also charged with creating a five year technology plan to assist in reconfiguring the existing technology systems to meet needs for both current and new information and data for the entire organization. In 2011, the Information and Technology Planning Consultant performed an assessment of the technology infrastructure. One of the recommendations from this assessment was to create a Technology Planning Governance Committee (TPGC). This committee is responsible for the execution of the recommendations in the technology plan. It consists of representatives from across the organization. One of the recommendations from the Information and Technology Planning Consultant was to consider a re-design of the current chart of accounts. Through this RFQ, First 5 LA is issuing this RFQ to select a firm to assist in the design of a new chart of accounts to accurately account for and report budgeted and actual financial transactions.
