Opportunities Exchange (OppEx) is a non-profit consulting firm focused on helping states build the ECE Technology Ecosystem needed to efficiently administer ECE funding and services. Maximizing Child Care Management Software (CCMS) and cloud-based applications to support coordinated enrollment, streamlined paperwork, real-time supply and demand data, and more, is central to this work. Given this background, DEC secured assistance from OppEx to craft a path forward, which included the following steps: A provider survey to gather information on current use of CCMS; Interviews with 16 individuals from 22 public and private agencies engaged in ECE administration, analysis or service delivery; A scan of promising practices in other states and cities; Facilitation of one or more meetings to forge consensus on a path forward. This report summarizes findings from each step and includes the framing document for the stakeholder meeting. Detailed notes and findings are included in the appendices. (author abstract)
