Attach 8 - Technology Matrix.xlsx

Attachment 8 - Technology Matrix is a comprehensive document from the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) for the Montana Access to Quality Childcare System (MAQCS) Rebid procurement. The matrix is a detailed technology requirements template that requires vendors to provide extensive information about proposed technological solutions, including product types (such as SaaS, PaaS, COTS), operating systems, licensing models, hosting strategies, and security testing information. Vendors must complete a row for each proposed solution, specifying details across multiple environments including production, development, test, staging, and other potential infrastructure configurations.

The technology matrix mandates vendors to provide specific cost information, including initial purchase costs, DDI maintenance costs, ongoing annual maintenance expenses, and renewal details. Each proposed technology solution must be thoroughly documented with precise specifications such as product name, full version, CPU type, number of CPUs/cores, memory capacity, user licensing models, and number of seats. Vendors are required to align their technology matrix submissions with Attachment G - Pricing Schedules, ensuring comprehensive and transparent cost reporting. The matrix includes legend definitions for standardized reporting across product types, operating systems, licensing models, hosting strategies, and security testing categories, facilitating a structured and comparable vendor response process.
