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?
Answer 2: Not yet, but the contract with the current vendor has standard SOA language about developing a transition plan within a reasonable timeframe and working with a potential incoming vendor and CDC/partners to make a smooth and timely transition.
Question 3: Has the CDC shared any information on how long the NBS V7 install in CDC environment takes and along with a [Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed] RACI chart for the CDC and the selected vendor? If so, can you share that now?
Answer 3: We do not have that information yet.
Question 4: Does AK have a plan in place on hosting rhapsody and other elements of NBS V7 that are not allowed in CDC environment?
Answer 4: These would be hosted in the vendor’s cloud.
