Mr. Thomas gave a third presentation to the SNAP Group on directory services. The presentation focused on the relationship of directory services, the router, and switched packet networks. The One-Stop Licensing Project is moving forward. A pilot project will be formed to demonstrate on-line licensing. InterTech maintains a telecommunications center directory and the mail hub directory that is linked to SEMA 4.
Work continues on data accuracy issues.
InterTech will merge the two directories. Agencies will be notified and given the choice of keeping the data in SEMA 4 or updating it with the Comm Center data. Eventually, new information will only be entered into SEMA 4. Having this automated will reduce duplication efforts. Mr. Manahan indicated it would be useful to know which agencies are using SEMA 4 and which agencies are not so we can monitor the process.
