• Abstract:
  The purpose of this project was to conduct a gap analysis that examined the needs of LIMMS users from system design and functionality to security. The analysis took into consideration the multiple platforms used by MassDOT currently for material and contract management. During the project, feedback was obtained from MassDOT users via private meetings and workshops to understand the scope of LIMMS usage. Given the increasing threat of software attacks, security was a particular focus of information gathering. A gap analysis report was created based on feedback from MassDOT users, a literature review, information gathered from other DOTs, and an evaluation of alternative material management products. Interviews with employees at other DOTs examined common use cases for alternative products. These products were evaluated via vendor interviews and software demonstrations. The gap analysis report findings resulted in a detailed and accurate scope of work for a sustainable and efficient LIMMS system.
