Application Development Services
The Application Development Bureau is made up of highly skilled Information Technology professionals with experience in designing, developing and deploying large-scale business and web-based applications. CSC Application Development Services Bureau is responsible for designing, programming, documenting, and providing technical support. Their services are available for new systems as well as existing systems. See Billing Rates for rates on services.
The bureau provides technical support for mission critical, transaction intensive mainframe applications such as STARS, the state’s accounting system of record, and EIS, the employee information system, which processes human resource documents and payrolls for 26,000 state employees annually.
On staff are technical experts who were involved in the initial implementations of these applications. They are available to assist with technical questions and application enhancements as needed.
Project management and application development processes have been defined to insure that best practices are adhered to. Projects are managed from inception through implementation with status meetings, quality assurance activities and acceptance testing processes scheduled at key stages throughout the life of the project.
Change management guidelines are also strictly adhered to. This insures enhancements have passed rigid testing criteria before they are accessible in a production environment.
As each project takes shape, the development staff works closely with the application owner in the development of a comprehensive end-user training program.
Application development services are available for new systems as well as existing systems. Request for services are to be submitted to the bureau chief of Application Development. |
