The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to gather insights on providing services related to an Informatica Enterprise License Agreement (ELA). This initiative aims to enhance efficient access to Informatica software products and ensure effective maintenance support within CMS's Office of Information Technology. The requirement aligns with the Making Electronic Government Accountable by Yielding Tangible Efficiencies (MEGABYTE) Act, emphasizing improved software license management to reduce costs and improve oversight.
CMS seeks responses from interested parties detailing proposed solutions, transition plans, data migration strategies, user workflow processes, and associated advantages and challenges. Key capabilities needed include robust ETL automation, support for diverse data sources, data quality management, and scalability in infrastructure. Submissions should include comprehensive information and must adhere to specified formatting and submission guidelines.
This RFI is not a solicitation but is part of CMS's market research to assess alternatives for acquiring software licenses, with the intent of potentially developing a future solicitation based on the responses received.
