DESCRIPTION
The City seeks a vendor to provide professional project management and implementation support services for upgrading its existing Local Government utility billing system from the Zortec platform to the Windows-based NextGen platform.

Key responsibilities include data migration planning and coordination (with technical execution performed by others), testing coordination, validation planning, and tracking of issue resolution. The vendor will also be responsible for training planning, scheduling, and coordination, as well as offering change management and organizational readiness support.
