In addition, it will be able to migrate existing products into a system that is more flexible, has greater functionality and lower life cycle costs including, but not limited to improved maintainability through enhanced monitoring techniques and rapid access to diagnostic information.

Objectives: CSC has a requirement for analysis and design tasks required to:

This will facilitate and enable the baseline set of standards that have been developed to date to be updated.
