This Justification and Approval (J&A) on a brand name only basis is for the use of Remedy licenses. The use of a brand name description is essential to the Government?s requirements, for Department of State infrastructure connectivity requirements, thereby precluding consideration of the products of another company. CA/CST/DO needs programming capability to implement the new Remedy system. These software development licenses will be used to create a developmental/test environment for the ARS-DO implementation of the Remedy ITSM products suite. As well as creating a separate development/test environment for ARS-DO Remedy, these licenses will also allow the DO-Training team to train users using a mirror image of the current product database without impacting the production dataset. The value enhancement of a development environment is the ability to leverage additional features and functionality of the BMC Remedy product line. Additionally, the environment can be torn down and rebuilt with an exact replica of production environment resources at any time without affecting the productions environment. (4) An identification of the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition. The 41 USC 253(c)(1), and FAR 6.302-1 are cited at the statutory authority. (4) An identification of the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition. The 41 USC 253(c)(1), and FAR 6.302-1 are cited at the statutory authority. The project team has received a dedicated server intended for use as a development and testing server. It has been configured and is currently using temporary demo licenses obtained from BMC. These temporary licenses allow DO to utilize the server for development and testing on the implemented ITSM modules until the purchase of development licenses is completed. Development and training on the remaining modules cannot be performed in the system?s current state. Using the dedicated server, the project team will apply the development licenses, which will provide the ability to perform development and testing activities for all ITSM modules in an isolated environment. The development environment will mirror the production environment in every aspect possible. Changes made in the development environment can be: Duplicated in the production environment which will be the case with successfully tested and approved changes Rolled back in the case of failed changes, unapproved changes, and after each training session to reset the databases, allowing the next training session to be conducted Separating the development from the production environment is an industry best practice. The greatest benefit of the development environment will be that all changes that might cause a service disruption are isolated. Additionally, if developmental efforts have to be performed in the production environment, DO?s Remedy ITSM suite would be significantly impeded. Support Contract ID: 32102
