The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Office of the Chief Financial Officer, Washington, DC, is seeking sources to support Federal Housing Administration Subsidiary Ledger (FHASL). The FHASL project leverages PeopleSoft?s Enterprise suite of Financial Management, Revenue Management and Customer Relationship Management software products as the core application to support the insurance, claims, asset management, funds control and financial reporting functions of the Federal Housing Administration. To assist with the implementation, testing, documentation, training, and user support efforts, FHA needs a complementary software product that includes self-running and interactive simulations, assessments, in-application support and context-sensitive help, documentation, and training materials. The specific requirements for this product include: 1) As delivered, the ability to integrate directly with PeopleSoft Enterprise Financials, Human Resources, CRM and Revenue Management without use of complex programming steps, 2) Ability to support content (i.e., simulations and documentation) development and training for other products, such as Microsoft Office or Lotus Notes, 3) Ability to create content as part of an interactive recording session that can be performed by a non-technical or novice system user, 4) Structured user training and documentation available to support developer/user learning, 5) Ability to create content in a matter of minutes from a single development effort, 6) Use of object recognition capability so content will be automatically created, 7) Ability to recognize PeopleTools level objects, especially those that result from modifications, 8) Ability to enhance content, including the creation of hot spots and text boxes without the need for "back end" programming, 9) Ability to design and deploy content using a web-browser (i.e., no plug-ins), 10) Ability to provide multiple training simulation (eLearning) modes simultaneously, from a self-guided tutorial to a user skills validation mode, 11) Ability to provide simulation without updating or altering the PeopleSoft system database, 12) Ability to provide an actual help simulation for production environment activities, rather than just end-user training prior to production use, 13) Ability to capture all actions, including function key usage and double-clicking, without the need to set variables such as timing and properties, 14) Automatic capability to provide usage tracking and scoring on user testing, and the ability to record scores in an outside database, 15) Ability to provide a centralized, reusable document repository that can create test scripts, training guides, job aides and business process-based documents, 16) Ability to support multiple fonts styles (five or more) including those that match the PeopleSoft environment, 17) Ability to export content files in multiple formats, including HTML and .DOC, and the ability to create HUD specific document templates, 18) Ability to migrate between different platforms (i.e., platform independence), and 19) Ability to create low overhead files in the data content repository.
