42020.3.3 Application Packages

  • It is the Department’s policy that all feasibility studies shall have one alternative addressing the availability, usability, maintainability, and costeffectiveness of prewritten and tested application programs in lieu of developing major programs in-house. The PCPenal Code Policy in DOMDepartment Operations Manual 48010 addresses PCPenal Code application packages. The objective is to minimize the development time and costs of major application programs when such programs are available from other sources. For some custom applications, however, in-house development may be the most viable alternative.
