DESCRIPTION
The State of South Dakota is seeking information from vendors regarding the modernization of its driver licensing system to replace the current legacy platform, which has developed considerable functional gaps in most operational areas. The existing system is characterized by extensive manual processes, disconnected platforms, and reliance on institutional knowledge in place of automation and system integration.
Key modernization objectives include the implementation of a comprehensive document and image repository management system, supporting a system-of-record approach to handling scanned documents, forms, photos, and correspondence. Additional requirements cover audit management tools (research, audit logs, reporting, and scorecards), advanced data warehousing with a self-service business intelligence layer, and integration from driver licensing, AAMVA, finance, and scheduling systems. This would enable staff to independently run, save, and share queries without requiring IT assistance.
Vendors are expected to propose solutions that can host the driver licensing platform with support for both on-premise and hosted options. The modernization effort also aims to enhance the customer experience through the expansion of self-service and digital access, while establishing a unified system of record encompassing driver licensing, enforcement, and financial operations. Automation of daily workflows and improved data processing, accessibility, quality, and reporting are also essential features being sought.
