In order to support OASH’s diverse needs and operation offices, existing legacy systems supporting the office will be rationalized, consolidated, and modernized to take advantage of the fast changing landscape of information technology. The goal is to create a suite of user validated products, providing a set of common capabilities, supported by componentized reusable services (OSS, COTS/GOTS, and Integration Code), residing on a hybrid cloud infrastructure, with security and compliance built in from the beginning to reduce risks to the organization. This Digital Services Platform shall increase operational and mission capabilities, increase productivity, reduce support cost, increase cyber security, and be easily upgradable with future technology.
In addition to these technical objectives, personnel that will support this highly skilled mission must be:

- Perform 6-R evaluations to identify the best modernization scenarios and present to the OCIO as recommendations. Define the parallel model and services which will support both new and legacy applications in the same production workspace.
- Propose a mix of low code, custom code and COTS targets for applications in the current operational systems (legacy) to promote custom code reduction.
- Provide architecture recommendations to improve extensibility and reuse of code and refine the internal architecture or object model of the applications and systems.
- Conduct user research to validate business architecture and implement business capabilities based on validated user experiences…
OCIO requires software maintenance and enhancements programming services to support two legacy application frameworks as well as applications built on OASH’s SaaS / PaaS hybrid cloud infrastructure.
Software Maintenance and Enhancements Activities include:
