AASHTOWare Project BAMS/DSS provides a complete AASHTOWare Project historical data warehouse specifically designed to provide decision support in the areas of bid monitoring and evaluation, vendor (contractor, subcontractor, and DBE) and market analysis, item price estimation, and the planning and budgeting process.
The AASHTOWare Project BAMS/DSS Workstation was developed to provide a desktop platform for AASHTOWare Project BAMS/DSS analysis as an alternative to host-based AASHTOWare Project BAMS/DSS analysis. In this context, the “desktop” is a computer running the Windows operating system, and the “host” is the computer where the full AASHTOWare Project BAMS/DSS system is installed. The AASHTOWare Project BAMS/DSS Workstation permits an AASHTOWare Project BAMS/DSS analyst to download Data Views from a host computer and perform Statistical Models Analysis and Ad Hoc Analysis on the desktop on those downloaded Data Views. The Workstation provides a faster, more responsive analysis environment.
Standalone AASHTOWare Project BAMS/DSS is an option that provides the full AASHTOWare Project BAMS/DSS software capabilities on a single Windows PC. It also allows additional AASHTOWare Project BAMS/DSS Workstations to access the PC as a database server. This configuration is ideal for agencies that need the full power of AASHTOWare Project BAMS/DSS without the additional overhead of a client/server implementation.
AASHTOWare Project BAMS/DSS supports interactive drill-down analysis of contract item bids, facilitating faster contract award decisions based on more information at the analyst’s fingertips. This feature is also used for long-term bidding pattern analysis, providing quick answers to the detail questions, such as, “What were this item’s prices for this contractor over the last six months?”
Because of the collusion detection aspects, AASHTOWare Project BAMS/DSS is only available to Member and Associate-International Member agencies.
