A designation of a county that has chosen to operate CWS/CMS in a shared LAN, open systems environment. Coexistent counties may connect other county systems to CWS/CMS and may install other county applications on CWS/CMS workstations. Coexistent counties share responsibility for problem resolution, configuration management and other local operation and maintenance services with the PMO. Coexistent counties agreed to use the CWS/CMS client presentation suite of applications, but they still retain the responsibility for the maintenance of related operating hardware used by the CWS/CMS application network infrastructure.
