The real property database system for Real Estate Services (RES) lacks any significant information integration and the limited reporting it does provide is inaccurate and disjointed. This requires WSDOT to do enormous amounts of manual data entry and having to check, correct, and update all report information. The current solution no longer meets the needs of RES and WSDOT and there is a need to replace with a right-of-way software system that offers broader functionality. The new system will provide an integrated approach to supporting the core requirements for RES, guiding the work processes through intuitive interfaces using pre-defined workflows that include remote access, maintaining the information in a database, and allowing effective integrations with other WSDOT systems are central to this new application. The new software system will need to comply with the Washington State Office of Chief Information Officer (OCIO) Policy 184, which stipulates that this software solution must be hosted either by a third party vendor or in a cloud environment. Additionally, any software solution must also meet the cybersecurity requirements of the Agency.
