The Office of Innovation Citizen Services' existing operational systems are in an operation & maintenance (O&M) steady state. One investment (Catalog UX Improvements Phase 1) is behind schedule and has incurred additional funding to extend. The implementation of the Civil Rights Cold Case Web Portal is also behind schedule but continues under a no-cost extension. All new development use an agile and continuous development approach while maintaining product backlogs that track stakeholder's needs. Project and Applications Managers collaborate with contractor support with enough IT and stakeholder resources and expertise to develop, modernize, enhance, and/or maintain projects and systems.

NextGen HMS Go-Live was achieved with a four-phased rollout of the modernized system, however, multiple features and system workarounds remain in the product backlog that will require additional development to improve on the initial release. ENOS modernization is not funded for FY25 and may require internal development to avoid the risk of operating the legacy system on the Siebel platform with the O&M contract ending 09/25. NextGen DAS is behind schedule. New development uses an agile and continuous development approach while maintaining product backlogs that track stakeholders needs. Project and system performance is tracked and measured to ensure metrics are on target. |

The NextGen Catalog is now operational in the production environment and considered in an O&M steady state. The legacy NAC is scheduled to be decommissioned by December 2023. DAS is in O&M steady state; however, modernization and enhancement efforts for the NextGen DAS remain in progress. There is a delay in the NextGen DAS final release due to product and sprint backlog replanning, redefined service level agreements (SLAs), and underestimation of level of effort (LOE). In addition, NARA's transition from SecureAuth to Azure AD has caused an additional shift in schedule, final delivery date and costs due to the LOE for the vendor to implement. NextGen HMS has completed the developement phase of the project. UAT and Stage Gate reviews will run through December 2023 and rollout and data migration is projected to occur during Q1 CY 2024. |

NARA has hired several key resources for the Program Management division, including supervisors and program managers. The result has been a workload balance and an increase in quality products. However, hiring and recruiting qualified federal resources as developers for the ECRM platform has been difficult. Oracle now offers a limited support option called Market Driven Support (MDS) which NARA will purchase to extend support to the Oracle/Siebel platform through December 31, 2023. The National Archives Catalog (NAC) and Description and Authority Service (DAS) modernization and enhancement efforts continue with agile development to foster scalable, stable, and the performant applications. |
