The following inquiries are here presented and answered:
Question 1: Does the fact that the Authority to Operate (ATO) for NBS in the CDC Azure environment was approved mean [that] AK has completed [its] review and the selected vendor can plan on moving to the Pilot phase in the CDC environment on day one?
Answer 1: As of today (Nov 2024), there are still discussions about how/whether the CDC cloud pilot is an option for Alaska. We anticipate having a more definitive assessment of options and timeframe in the future.
Question 2: Does AK have transition plans in place for current production system with the current vendor? Can you share those plans?
