5. Our Challenges: “Green Screens”
Los Angeles County OFFICE OF THE ASSESSOR
Our Challenges: “Green Screens”
The existing core legacy system consists of a mainframe built with 1970’s technology that is now over 40 years old. It contains cryptic historical codes, keys, acronyms, and other language that users must either memorize or look up in manuals.
Limitations:
1970’s Technology.
Limited Search.
Poor Navigation.
Cryptic Codes & Keys.
No Reference to Location.
Device Dependent – No Mobility.
Lack of Scalability – No Change.
Paper Based System
[120s] – Kl
We have several technology challenges that we are facing.
Our core system of record is still on 1970s Technology in the form of a mainframe and associated green screens.
Today’s generation is use to touch/swipe/pinch for immediate access to everything.
At the Assessor’s office, we offer the TAB, F8, Hot-Keys resulting in poor searching, and no GeoLocation or maps. Not to mention, they have to utilize Lookup codes and keys in manuals instead of having instant information.

Baremetal performance, and latest intel processors
Exadata Cloud Service for high performance DB platform consolidation, w/Tenant isolation
PaaS services (SOACS, ICS, MobileCS),
