Several Information Technology (IT) systems have been created to meet mission critical requirements as well as requirements imposed by executive orders. These systems assist FDA personnel in tracking and managing cases throughout the regulatory workflow. Furthermore, for better support of decision support processes, the Office of Regulatory Affairs (ORA) has developed the Online Reporting Analysis Decision Support System (ORADSS) data warehouse. ORADSS is a centralized data warehouse environment implemented to provide integrated decision support for regulatory compliance. This effort involved establishing a central repository of information that supports FDA in achieving its mission of protecting the public from unsafe food, drugs, cosmetics, electronic radiation emitting products, and medical devices, whether of domestic or foreign origin. Specifically, ORADSS has been designed to support the FDA user community in researching, analyzing, and reporting on domestic and foreign operations, product information through its standard and dynamic querying, ad hoc and standard report generation, and trend analysis capabilities. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS: The vendor shall provide: 1) INFORMATICA MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT: ORADSS uses Informatica PowerCenter as our Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) Tool.
