[email protected] The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention requires the following items, Brand Name Only (Exact Match), to the following: This action is to renew 23 workflow licenses with 100 hours of support for one year. This allows fellowship programs to be able to take advantage of joining EFMS to reduce the fellowship application processing time, associated cost, policy compliant acceptance of applications, evaluation of CV's and management of candidate fellows, as follows: 0001 Wisehive Zengine, Workflow Licenses for STOP 1 Each 0002 Support 100 Each 0003 Wisehive Zengine,Workflow, Workflow Licenses for STOP 22 Each Wizehive licenses and support hours allows CDC to take advantage of joining EFMS to reduce the fellowship application processing time, associated cost, policy compliant acceptance of applications, evaluation of CV's and management of candidate fellows. WizeHive Zengine developed and supports multiple program workflow functions and processes to include CGH’s GID-STOP and CSELS’ EFMS. Additional licensing is needed to re-use current workflows and add seven(7) further program activities for fellowship management and/or accreditation. The existing WizeHive solution offers an enterprise solution that facilitates quick development for additional C/I/O needs within CDC. There are other systems for fellowship and grants management but to use them would require dropping the developed WizeHive workflow solution and pay an implementer approximately $60,000 to $120,000 to develop a new workflow in another system and then buy workflow licenses for that system. WizeHive is an economical enterprise solution for management of fellowships and grants based on Presidential mandates to consolidate like solutions into the Cloud. No other vendors sell this product. There are no re-sellers. Only WizeHive Zengine workflow licenses will work on WizeHive developed workflows on the WizeHive platform. The reuse of already developed workflows in WizeHive decreases the development cost of new programs joining this enterprise solution. The Vendor will provide the software licenses for this Wizehive renewal. POP: Shortly after Award – No more than 12 Months.
