1. New Mexico Secretary of State
Critical System Hardware Replacement
Implementation Certification
Presentation should be high level, highlighting points agency wants to emphasize from their full business case. Presentation should be no longer than 10 slides- Template uses 7, 3 are “at large” and can cover additional topics, or add to existing as needed. Notes on all slides are provided as general guidance and should be used only as applicable (ie. Not all items may apply to all projects)
Agency should use presentation to make the argument why THIS project is the most worthy of C2 funds
Why this need is the most critical and urgent
Why this C2 spend request returns the most value to taxpayers/state
Why Agency is the most ready to succeed with the C2 investment being made.
Include Business Owner and Executive Sponsor
Rehearse so things are well coordinated
Be clear & concise
Adhere to allocated time (Total 20 mins, 10 – 12 mins for Presentation, 5-8 mins for Q&A)
Committee will have your Business Cases, so don’t repeat all info, simply reference it

2. Business Need
Aging physical infrastructure on critical application systems reaching manufacturer’s end of life (EOL).
Risk of unsupported equipment failure that can result in prolonged system downtime and or data loss.
High risk of prolonged interruption of core SOS services increases the longer we wait to replace it.
Inability to recover swiftly from hardware failures resulting in unplanned and prolonged downtime and data loss;
New system applications, including SERVIS and NMBFS, are quickly outgrowing the current storage, performance, and redundancy capacity of the current hardware platform;
Unmet statutory requirements for a failover site for SERVIS; and
Increased security risks – designation of election systems as critical infrastructure highlights the debilitating impact an outage or compromise of an election system.

3. Project Description
Replace critical server, storage and network equipment reaching end of life
Hardware refresh will allow SOS to reduce risk of prolonged system downtime and data loss
Increase storage and redundancy for mission critical applications and process
