Customization
Proposals/Bids
Whether you are an agency creating the bid specifications for large government and public facilities projects, or you are an integrator formulating a proposal to meet the bid spec, D-Tools System Integrator software enables you to customize the solution to follow the government requirements.
Design/Engineering
Using D-Tools SI, users can create detailed engineering drawings with precise designs utilizing Visio shapes and AutoCAD blocks. Users can upload floor plans and drop product icons to indicate placement, then use the system drawings, floor plan layouts, rack elevations, and wiring diagrams to ensure clear communication with project stakeholders.
Workflow Configuration
Customizable workflows allow users to define steps, actions, and rules to match specific government requirements. For government agencies, the software can set various rules and permissions for defined access by users based on their roles.
Project Management
Large Facilities
The ability to smoothly coordinate scheduling installations and service calls in a single management system for massive government-run facilities such as airports and prisons helps to avoid scheduling conflicts and inefficient resource use. Maintaining your scheduling and staying on budget is enabled by using a single software platform.
High-Security Locations
Managing use cases that require extremely high levels of safeguards, such as research facilities/laboratories, prisons, or government offices, can be daunting. D-Tools SI’s customizable software enables you to tailor your scheduling and processes to accommodate specific government security requirements.
Documentation
While in the field, technicians can utilize D-Tools to add site notes and photos, track work completed, and document changes via a mobile device. All that activity is documented and stored in D-Tools to abide by government requirements.
Security Considerations
Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA)
D-Tools System Integrator (SI) on-premises network-independent solution is secure and enables contractors to meet and exceed necessary FISMA standards and guidelines for securing government information systems, especially in cases of ongoing monitoring or incident response.
Protecting Sensitive Data
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) outlines security requirements for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in nonfederal systems and organizations. Contractors handling CUI must implement specific security controls from NIST SP 800-171 to safeguard this information, and D-Tools SI on-premises solution can play an integral role in keeping sensitive information off the network and safe.
Contract-Specific Security Requirements
Government contracts may include specific security requirements and clauses that contractors must follow. These requirements could include encryption standards, access control measures, incident reporting procedures, and security training for personnel. Complete end-to-end business management capabilities of D-Tools software can help integrators maintain those requirements.
GSA Certification
GSA Schedule Program
Using a singular platform like D-Tools System Integrator (SI) on-premises solution allows integrators to streamline their procurement process for government agencies following the GSA Schedule Program, also known as Multiple Award Schedules (MAS).
Adhering to Certification Process
To obtain a GSA Schedule contract, an integrator must go through a rigorous application and review process conducted by the GSA. This process includes submitting detailed information about the company's capabilities, pricing, and compliance with various federal regulations, most of which can be output by D-Tools software.
Meeting Eligibility Requirements
Integrators seeking GSA certification must demonstrate their financial stability, past performance, and ability to meet the government's needs. Using D-Tools software, integrators are able to output that information in reports.
Service Management
Warranty Tracking
Use SI’s custom date fields to track manufacturer warranty timetables on every product in an installation project. Save time on recordkeeping and enjoy more accurate, organized, and accessible warranty information so you can promptly and appropriately respond to any issues.
Enhanced Communication
Connect your entire team for enhanced communication. From quickly responding to requests to identifying and addressing government client needs, this enhanced, team-generated communication can help contractors abide by necessary standards.
RMR Generation
D-Tools management platform can help to increase your recurring monthly revenue (RMR) by helping you track and maintain your service and monitoring agreements. Detailed government customer data tracking allows you to better identify their individual needs with access to a clear view of each account.
Use Cases
Utilize D-Tools for all of your Government projects:
- Airports
- Laboratories
- Healthcare Facilities
- Prisons
- Administrative Offices
