During the lifetime of these systems, new state statutes, federal regulations, and procedural mandates have triggered changes in the demands of, and rules related to, basic business processes, applications, and application interfaces. These changes were essential to the continuity of business. Included in these changes were the development of additional computing assets, including a reporting infrastructure, to address core functional needs and to facilitate complex reconciliations between interfacing applications. Many of these computing assets utilize a technology that is either outdated or considered non-strategic by the Department.
