City of Los Angeles – Information Technology Agency (7/29/2013 – Present) Project Summary The City of Los Angeles is one of the largest cities in the world with over 40 departments that deliver over 1700 different services to more than 3.8 million citizens. The city receives millions of service request calls for services such as “pothole repair”, “graffiti removal”, “tree trimming”, “permit for construction”, etc. In most cities a resident must contact individual departments that provide that specific service. For example, in the City of Los Angeles you would call the Animal Services department for getting a permit for your pet, and the sanitation department for picking up a dead animal in the street. Over the years the City developed a centralized call center – called the 311-service center – to centralize the calls for citywide service requests. However, for walk-in customers and for resolution of services, the residents and businesses would still need to deal with individual departments. 3Di proposed an innovative solution that has transformed the citizen service model in Los Angeles. Such a solution has never been implemented in any major city in the world. 3Di proposed the idea of a citizen centric approach that delivers a unified view of the City’s services to the residents and businesses. 3Di called it “MyCity” or in the case of the City of Los Angeles “MyLA”. The basic premise of “MyLA” is that from the resident’s perspective a city is one entity – “MyCity”. The citizen does not know or care that the city has different departments for sanitation, building and safety, transportation, etc. 3Di introduced the idea of a single technology platform that provides a consistent customer experience across all channels (call center, mobile, web portal, kiosk etc.). The platform not only provides a consistent experience for the residents and businesses (we refer to as “Citizen View”) but also a consistent experience for all of the service providers including the elected officials, department managers, city staff, city vendors, etc. (we refer to this as the “City View”) As a part of the 311 project, the following applications were developed and deployed on Oracle’s Fusinon Middleware Platform: • MyLA311 Portal for Constituents and City Staff • Sanitation Portal for Constituents and City Staff • MyLA311 Native Mobile Application for Android and iOS • SANSTAR application used by Sanitation staff for Service Request fulfillment in field MyLA311 Portal, Sanitation Portal and MyLA311 Native Mobile application are High Value Applications. Technical Implementation Overview The MyLA311 and Sanitation Portal project is built using Oracle Fusion Middleware products, including Oracle WebCenter Portal as the presentation layer, WebCenter Content as the document repository and for web content management, Oracle Identity Management Products (OVD, OUD, OAM) for authentication, authorization and single-sign-on, and Siebel CRM as the CRM for service request workflow and fulfillment. Oracle RAC database is the underlying database for all the applications. Oracle HTTP Server was used as the WebServer. Symantec Antivirus is used for scanning of any documents uploaded through the portal. In-memory virus scanning was used to ensure that all uploaded documents are scanned before they are stored on permanent storage. For development, SVN is used as the code version control repository, www.3disystems.com Page 10 of 35 JDeveloper for ADF development IDE and Eclipse IDE for Andriod and IOS Native Mobile App development. Project Highlights • There are over 800 Internal users. At any time, there are about 150 Concurrent internal call center users using the application. • Over 1 million LADWP customers can login with existing LADPW.com (utility accounts) without the need of registering again. • Over 1.85 Million Service requests created within 1 year of launching the internal portal. • The monthly average service requests are approximately 180,000. • Self-service requests make about 16 % of the total service requests. • Real time reporting for the Mayor’s office and Department Management. • Real time notifications for residents when the request is serviced. • Real time integration with Field Service Agents. Operations & Maintenance Support: Currently, the project is in Operations & Maintenance and 3Di is the contractor for Application and Platform operations & maintenance. The 3Di Project Team consists of a Program Manager, Project Managers, Technical Leads, Technical Team, QA Lead and QA Team at a high level that work closely with the Customers on a day to day basis. The Program Manager is responsible for planning, resource allocation, risk analysis and mitigation, reporting and coordination of activities with the Customer and 3Di Team. The Program Manager is supported by Project Managers for Development and support tasks. For project oversight a Steering Committee, including 3Di Management and Customer Management, has been formed. There is a Steering committee meeting on a monthly or bimonthly basis where the 3Di Program Manager and Customer Project Owner present the project status updates to the Steering Committee. This has worked very well for our project to assess and mitigate any risks related to any activities of the project. The Program Manager submits the Project Status report on a weekly basis to the customer. The project team has a weekly meeting with the customer’s Project Managers and technical team members to review project status, open items, risks and resolutions. Each new initiative within the scope of this project, like application enhancements, infrastructure upgrades and patching environments are considered, scoped and executed as sub projects. After the successful completion of each of the project milestones, a sign-off from the client project team and management is required to move forward to the next phase. 3Di has ensured an infrastructure uptime of 98%. This is achieved by proactive monitoring, alerts and effective incident management process. 3Di’s support processes includes administration of day-to-day user management, access and security protocols, plus other various support services, including infrastructure planning and architecture setup, integration, database design / implementation / optimization, real-time server and database monitoring, database backup and recovery policies, server configuration management, and network connectivity performance and reporting. Proactive patching for bugs, security and critical system patches released by Oracle and Operating System Vendors ensured protection against systems being vulnerable to downtime due to viruses and other attacks. As soon as patches are released by the Vendors, the patching is planned in consultation with the client and deployed and tested in lower environments and then in Production Environment. The patching schedule is generally 1-2 weeks depending upon the type of patch. The following activities were considered under New Development and Enhancement Support: 1. Application Enhancement, bugs fixing and new feature development 2. Infrastructure / Product upgrades and non-critical Patching www.3disystems.com Page 11 of 35 3Di followed a change management process to ensure that each change introduced to the project and environment is appropriately defined, evaluated, scoped and approved prior to implementation. The 3Di team has weekly CCB meetings involving the Project Manager and Business Owners and stakeholders for reviewing change requests and reported bugs/issues. Based on the change/enhancement, 3Di has a schedule of 3 to 5 weeks for resolving and deploying the changes into production. As the application matures there have been many improvements done to the application and system architecture to enhance performance, integration with other ancillary systems and application enhancements. Our team is responsible for evaluating and implementation of the system architecture design when adding new integration and improvements to the portal. Post implementation migration of data, if required is also part of the SOW for this project. As a part of the evaluation and system design process, our team creates POC and after discussion with the client technical team, select and implement the most suitable options. Few examples of integration are: • Integration of “CHIP” the LA city chatbot, • Integration of Google translator, • Integration of LA City website header into MyLA311 portal. 2 Division of Corporation Finance, Security Exchange Commission (10/2014 – Current) Project Name: System for Workflow Activity Tracking (SWAT) The Division of Corporation Finance (CF) selectively reviews filings made under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to monitor and enhance compliance with the applicable disclosure and accounting requirements. About 400 CF staff, mostly accountants and lawyers are engaged in the review process. Corporate Finance’s filing review process was heavily reliant upon manual processes and a patchwork of internally developed systems built on obsolete technology. This reliance resulted in issues with data quality and integrity, as well as, inadequate internal controls and management reporting, process inefficiencies and ineffective use of staff and management time. The project SWAT replaced existing information technology systems (i.e., applications and databases) with an integrated ‘one-stop-shop’ Filing Review Platform that tracked and managed the entire lifecycle of a filing review. This project was designed and developed aa new integrated Filing Review Platform to include all current system capabilities and enhanced and augmented new functionalities such as, business process automation, workflow, work load management, approval, notification, document management system, communication management, data integration with the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (EDGAR), audit trail, dashboard and reporting. There was a very specific requirement for the Worklist component for the project. We had implemented a custom worklist using the BPM APIs for Workflow tasks to fulfill the requirement. Testing The following testing were performed by our team: • Unit Testing • Manual/Automated Regression testing using Selenium • Web Accessibility Testing (ADA/508c) • Performance Testing using JMeter The customer was involved in: • User Acceptance Testing (Business Users) • Security Testing (SEC OIT Team) www.3disystems.com Page 12 of 35 Training Our team worked with the customer to create the Job Aids and training material. The training was provided by the customer to their business users. Technologies SWAT application was built on Oracle Fusion Middleware and Oracle Identity Management products: • Oracle WebCenter Portal – Presentation layer and UI and only point of entry to access workflow and documents. • Oracle WebCenter Content – Used to store documents generated by SWAT application during the Review Workflow • Oracle BPM – Review workflows were developed using Oracle BPM. • Oracle Unified Directory (OUD) – OUD was used as Virtual Directory to create application specific roles and associate the Active Directory users to Application roles. • Oracle Access Manager (OAM) – OAM was implemented to have single-sign-on and authorization for access to SWAT application • Microsoft Active Directory (AD) – AD is the LDAP that stores all the users of SEC. • Oracle ADF – ADF is used for custom module development. 3. El-Paso County, CO (08/2013 – Current) Project Name: TEAM (Technical Agreement Management) The TEAM application is a workflow automation project which starts with intake of agreement documents (checked into WebCenter Content), which would trigger a workflow for review and approval of the documents. The high-level features include: 1. Document Intake 2. Document Review a. Review – Reject b. Review – Return c. Review – Approve d. Update – documents e. Review – Notifications 3. Role based workflow assignments 4. Document Storage 5. Document Search 6. Responsive UI Testing The following testing were performed by our team: • Unit Testing • Manual Regression testing • Web Accessibility Testing (ADA/508c) • Performance Testing using JMeter The customer was involved in: • User Acceptance Testing (Business Users) Training We used the approach of Train the Trainer. Two users from the customer side were trained to use the application and were provided the supporting documentation for Training. These users trained the actual business users.

The first level (usually by telephone) relates to meeting the administrative and minimum technical requirements. The second level interview (usually in-person/Skype/Web conference) will be performed by a Technical Manager and as necessary, includes a written practical test. This will be followed by reference checks and verification of educational and professional certifications. 3Di’s general/special recruitment methodology is as follows: Step 1: The client presents his requirements to the 3Di Dedicated Recruitment Manager (DRM). Step 2 The 3Di DRM goes through the work order solicitation to completely understand the requirements. If needed, the 3Di DRM will call the COUNTY to get clarifications or seek necessary information. 3Di can respond by telephone within one hour of the COUNTY’s initial request or as required by the COUNTY. Step 3: As per the requirement, 3Di does an internal search for the appropriate resources and, if available, presents the resumes to the COUNTY. In the case that a 3Di internal resource search does not provide any matching consultants, a search is made for suitable candidates in the reserve database, and a check is made on their availability. Step 4: In addition to the above, a search is conducted through the Internet by accessing websites like Dice.com, Monster.com, Linkedin.com, Craigslist, etc. Step 5: Once the consultants are identified and skills matched, the process of testing and validating (pre-screening) the skills is followed. This includes: • Preliminary interview: Evaluation criteria include communication skills, basic technical skills experience verification, and related job skills. • Detailed technical interview: Evaluation criteria include suitability to the job requirements skills and experience in similar projects, attitude by a technical project manager and at times a face-to-face interview/Skype/WebEx, and satisfactory references. • Drug screening and Background Checks will be done, as necessary. • 3Di verifies employment history through mandatory reference checks for all recruits. Reference checks are done by emailing/telephoning using a standard reference sheet in Word format. • 3Di also verifies documentation such as driver’s license, social security cards (with employment status), immigration records, etc. • Education documents are checked by contacting the university/school directly, as necessary. • 3Di also employs external agencies (pre-employ.com, etc.) for drug and background check services. • 3Di will utilize the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify system to verify the eligibility of all new employees hired to work in the U.S. during the contract term. Step 6: 3Di will present the consultant’s resume (usually 2 to 3 resumes or as required) along with the price quote (fixed or hourly) to the COUNTY for review. www.3disystems.com Page 18 of 35 Step 7: Depending on the feedback from the COUNTY, 3Di will present more resumes to the satisfaction of the COUNTY. Usually, the resumes that 3Di submits will always meet the minimum requirements. Further, 3Di will also arrange for interviews either in-person or by telephone per the COUNTY’s wishes. Step 8: The COUNTY completes the interview process and expresses its intent to hire a shortlisted consultant. Step 9: All security requirements will be followed and met. Further, upon the request of the COUNTY, drug and background checks are conducted as required. After this test is cleared, the consultant is hired. If any of the security requirements are not met, 3Di will present more resumes to the COUNTY (Step 3 – Step: 9) or will proceed as per the advice of the COUNTY. Step 10: In the case the hired consultant does not perform as per the expectations of the COUNTY, Steps from #3 to #9 are repeated. Step 11: 3Di, at regular intervals, will monitor the progress of the consultant to the COUNTY’s satisfaction. Step 12: 3Di, in cases where conversions are requested, it will follow the prior agreed applicable fee schedule based on the candidate’s base annual salary or as per the contract terms and conditions The selection and recruitment process is vetted by a senior technical manager to ensure the selected candidate has the necessary skills and qualifications to perform the job duties as required by the client. Key Personnel Qualifications 3Di recruiters are all trained in professional recruiting techniques to find and attract the most qualified candidates.

We obtain the written consent of the candidate before recommending him/her to the client.
