CONNECT CCB Meeting May 16, 2012

Balancing current + future needs CONNECT needs to support the current 2012 production and operational needs of the Federal Partners and community. CONNECT needs to be positioned for the future operational, organizational and evolving Exchange needs as the open source community grows. CONNECT resources must balance: Sustainment and continued support for production Enhancement of CONNECT to support future requirements and operating model 2

Building Blocks to a Unified Track Supporting Sustainment and Evolution for CONNECT with a consolidated approach delivering a releasable product. Enhancing the current code base of CONNECT allows for increased synergy of resource investment. Modifying and refining the CONNECT code base while still leveraging certain components allows for benefits to be delivered near term while positioning CONNECT for the future. Scalability & performance improvements Modular code base to support code submissions Support for larger message payloads Simplify auditing & provide needed data Code improvements & technical debt removal Flexibility in tech stack options 3
