Room I02 Hilo, Hxwxii 96720-4252 (808) 96L8207 Fxx (808) 961-8248 August 20, 1997 T0: Harry Takahashi, Director of Finance FROM: Gary Tom, Data Processing Systems Analys t SUBJECT: RECOMMENDATIONS - KONA IBM CONTROLLER I have completed my assessment of the acquisition of an IBM controller for the Motor Vehicle Registration (MVR) office in Kona. This task, originally started by Pat Kamida, was to the assess the situation of splitting the MVR Kona office from the Real Property Tax (RPT) Kona office's IBM controller by getting them their own. Initially, it was thought that Kona RPT needed to acquire additional ports for them to install and implement their PC based cashiering system. This meant taking some ports away from MVR or purchasing another controller. In G.A. Rock's memo to you dated April 21, 1997, it was reported that there was a sufficient number of ports available on the existing controller to accomodate the cashiering system. But, the decision was still made to go ahead and assess the possibility of acquiring another IBM controller for MVR and remove them off RPT's controller. The additional 16 ports would be available for any future needs that may arise for the Kona offices to access their data kept on the Department of Data System's (DDS) IBM mainframe in Honolulu. It is with the input of the following agencies/companies that I come up with my recommendations: 1) GTE Hawaiian Tel (modem and phone line communications) 2) City and County of Honolulu's Department of Data Systems (controller software specifications and accessibility issues to their IBM Mainframe computer) 3) IBM (hardware specifications) 4) Gandalf International (modems)
