In July, the scheduling module will be completed. The waiver package is being sent to HHSC this week. Ms. Johnson will let Cindy know to whom in HHSC it is addressed. If there are any areas the committee members feel should be addressed or issues to be considered, contact Ms. Biermann. Interface of Automation Systems - Consideration needs to be given regarding the interface of automation systems with other agencies.
Legacy systems are a major concern.
Mr. Fernandez asked if the high level design identifies what agency systems need to be interfaced. Ms. Duflot indicated that the Phase 1 RFO details the interfaces. When asked if the contractor is building the interfaces or just identifying the layout, it was indicated the system is designed to be open architecture to allow communication with many different types of systems. The system will be designed to provide the current functionality regarding interfaces and there should be at least the same level of interface, if not more. It is anticipated that the system will be accessible through the Internet in the future, and the open architecture currently being designed is laying the groundwork for that.
