2. Introduction

3. What is SIM? Stands for System Integration Management
Directed by the System Integrated Management Office (SIMO) in an organization
Focus
Implementation/Placement of new computer systems
Upgrade of current computer systems
Replacement of current computer systems
Removal of current computer systems
Goals
Identify, document, and manage changes to the site architecture
Plan a timely, cost-effective, and operationally focused implementation/upgrade/change/removal of computer systems
Execute the transition from the baseline architecture to the objective architecture
Communicate results of analysis, transition status, issues, resolution plans, and recommendations to senior management

4. Site Architectures Baseline Architecture Objective Architecture
Depicts the computer hardware, software, and network connections currently installed and in use in an organization
Objective Architecture
Depicts the computer hardware, software, and network connections at a set point of time in the future after specific computer systems have been installed, changed, or removed in an organization

5. System Integration Management Review (SIMR)

6. System Integration Management Review (SIMR)
Conducted monthly by the integration contractor and overseen by the SIMO
Attended by upper management, project action officers, users, operators, maintainers, and developers
Presents information on status of system integration plans for operations over the next 1, 2, and 5 years
