Exhibit A
Scope of Work
Licensor has designed and built an Online Reporting System for Police Departments
that provides data to a specified database structure. The Online Reporting System uses
the J2EE standard. The system is designed to gather information on incidents from a
member of the general public (user) via an SSL connection. The application allows the
user to file incidents in several languages. The application allows a select group of
user(s) to be designated the Licensee to file in a secure area. The application will issue a
temporary report number to the user and place the temporary report into an administrative
holding area for review and modification by appropriate administrator. An email is
generated to the user that the report has been submitted. The administrator logs in via an
SSL connection approves rejects, edits or prints reports as appropriate. Rejecting a report
deletes it from the system and sends an appropriate email to the user. Approving the
report issues a number (which can be system or user assigned), places it in a cue to be
exported, and does not send an email to the user. The administrator can download the
approved report or print the report out.
A. Setup and Customization
Licensee Responsibilities:
