Title:Best Practices for Structuring and Managing Statewide Resource-Tracking Databases 
Project Number:SPR-795
Principal Investigator:Kenneth Sullivan, ASU
ADOT PM:David Proffitt
Area:Planning
Categories:Standard
Start Date:11/01/24
Duration:10 months

Description:

ADOT’s Financial Management Services (FMS) Resource Administration team uses a Microsoft© Access™ database to manage over $1 billion annually in federally funded projects. The database tracks project details and is crucial for reporting federal aid allocations. However, it faces issues like unresponsiveness and compatibility problems, risking data loss. FMS aims to investigate how other state DOTs manage similar databases to identify best practices for a permanent solution.

Goal:

The goal is to evaluate how other state DOTs manage their project databases to identify best practices for technology, policies, and staffing. This will help ADOT find a permanent solution to the issues faced with their current Microsoft© Access™ database.
