External Systems Overview
The CWS-CARES External Systems team helps counties assess their external systems to ensure continued operations at Go-Live and determine which systems are duplicative and develop a long-term decommissioning plan.
External Systems has 4 workstreams:
- Scope Assessments: Identify and classify external systems by CWS-CARES impact.
- Continuing Operations: Develop strategies for continuing operations of external systems.
- Data Conversion: Map and migrate data from select external systems to CWS-CARES.
- Decommissioning Planning: Plan for disposition of duplicative external systems in compliance with CCWIS regulations.
