NMSIIS Upgrade and Migration to SaaS
Scope
The scope of this project includes
upgrading the NMSIIS software to the most
current software level, refreshing the
hardware platform for all environments,
and moving to a SaaS model of support.
The end results are extended functionality
and full support for all components of the
system.
Major Accomplishments
1. The NMSIIS application is fully
supported at the most current and
stable release of the software.
2. The new system offers bi-directional
data exchange capabilities, both in flat
file and HL7 format, as well as enhanced
tracking and reporting features.
3. NM is now part of a consortium with
other states which use the WIR
Immunization Registry(WIR) model to
collaborate in areas such as
enhancements, application features and
training.
Key Lessons Learned
•
The project team did not have a designated testing engineer. Many of the post-production
issues that have surfaced could have been prevented with a more thorough and structured
testing methodology.
