Describe the plan for future competition for the goods or services. Over the course of time, as OSA auditors become trained and proficient in big Data Analytics and applying Statistical Sampling techniques, new vendors that provide similar computer assisted auditing tool (CAAT) software, training and support will likely enter the market. As they do and other State auditor groups similarly do so, OSA shall determine whether the design, reliability, and capability of Diligent Corporation software continues to better meet our needs in comparison.
