Joe,
You were present as I was (for a portion) at the B&F Committee meeting where this was discussed. John had seen the L&N software and felt it was worth considering. You may recall we used the terminology “hybrid” in comparison with some of the other software provider to include reassigning to the vendor employees in some areas. L&N has agreed to submit a proposal this week to provide for a full airing of their ability to provide a platform similar to that provided by other software vendors. This is not just back room financial software, the proposal is supposed to be a full apples to apples comparison with the other providers across the board. I specifically urged the board to include L&N and I believe that without their participation apples to apples with the other providers a new board would overturn any decision. This allows someone with the HOA management skill set to provide pricing of the software. L&N’s Advanced Technology Group is fully engaged and will be providing OPA a proposal in the next week and follow that with a demonstration day at some point to include TWG, department heads, and the B&F Committee to see the product and compare it to the others. I certainly expect the inclusion of L&N’s proposal and demonstration prior to a final recommendation, and that is the due diligence required. Ted |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Ted, on May 23, John Viola, OPA Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, wrote to the Board of Directors with the following recommendation from the Budget & Finance Committee: “2) Requests for Proposals should be solicited from HOA Management Companies (Outsourcing). The request should ask that cost data be submitted in a manner consistent with the cost data supplied by the software vendors. Enough companies should be solicited to ensure OPA receives at least three responses. At minimum there should be some type of analysis from management detailing outsourcing was reviewed and a decision was made to either go the next step requesting proposals or why we decided not to pursue.” I am hearing the board intends to vote on not outsourcing and purchasing the software recommended by Tom Terry without any serious look at outsourcing. Will you support Tery's recommendation without doing the RFP for outsourcing as recommended by John Viola and the Budget & Finance Committee? Why did the board ignore the committee recommendation? |
