The Contractor’s Solution the technical proposal from the Contractor which sets out an overview of the proposed solution supported by the necessary detail of the Contractor’s response to the Authority’s Requirements The Contractor will provide services to assist the Authority to initiate the IdAMS Delivery Project. As part of this work the Contractor’s team will: Work with nominated representatives of the 5 projects identified in Section 1.1 above to identify, clarify, agree and baseline a consolidated set of functional and non-functional requirements for extensions to the existing IdAMS solution. These will documented in a Requirements Matrix (D1) which will be reviewed with representatives of the consuming projects and approved by the Authority’s IdAMS Project Manager Investigate the status of the existing IdAMS solution in the DTE, VOTE and LIVE environments, identifying any remedial work to both environments and solution that may be necessary prior to beginning work on extending the IdAMS solution. The team will also identify changes to the environments, solution and supporting documentation required to meet the consolidated functional and non-functional requirements. The output of this work will be documented in an IdAMS Design review document (D2) Produce a Delivery Approach and Governance Plan (D3) defining the overall project approach to delivery including: Project governance Roles and resources Requirements management Risk and Issue management Change control Communications. Produce and maintain a high level Project Plan (D4) for the initiation phase Produce and maintain a Risks, Issues, Assumptions and Dependencies Log (D5) for the initiation phase Investigate the cause of the ADFS issues identified with the implementation of the current IdAMS solution in Live and provide recommendations Work to identify any additional remedial or implementation work that may reasonably be progressed in advance of completion of Project Initiation. Any such work to be agreed with the Authority via a FSC Change Note prior to execution.
The Contractor’s Solution the technical proposal from the Contractor which sets out an overview of the proposed solution supported by the necessary detail of the Contractor’s response to the Authority’s Requirements Approach Deploy new Blue Coat proxy and AV solution in parallel to existing Blue Coats Move NCS web application on to the new devices Deploy Blue Coat Enterprise Reporter and configure logging from new and existing appliances Enterprise Reporter Capgemini will supply a virtual machine to install the Bluecoat Reporter appliance. The specification is 2 processor and 8GB of RAM. Disk space requirement is still to be finalised, but it is proposed that initially 100GB is made available. Capgemini will install the Bluecoat Reporter and assign an IP address and temporary password for BT. BT will supply the IP address including VLAN ID for the engineer to assign. Deliverables The table below identifies at a management summary level the list of products to be provided as part of this solution: ID Title Description
1 Technical Infrastructure Design - TID Standard Product. The existing NCS TID document will be extended.
2 Test Approach This will be a short document to summarise the verification approach to be followed.
3 Test Report This will be a short document to document the results of the verification tests. The main tasks and an indicative outline time schedule are shown below. There are 3 Bank Holidays during this period. The new Blue Coat devices will be issued with temporary IP addresses and smoke tests will be run against the NCS site through them. These will include testing the core site functionality. The site will also be placed under some light load so as to identify potential throughput issues. Another set of smoke tests will be run once the cutover to the live IP addresses has been made. This FSC will be delivered within the established Learner Advancement Portfolio (LAP), of which Blue Coat installation will be a part, managed by IM Services. The reporting arrangements will be via the Capgemini Project Manager for NCS Release 3.1 and the arrangements for Release 3 and Release 3.1 In addition the Capgemini NCS Lead architect will face off to the IM Services Lead Architect and his team. The quotation provided within this FSC is valid for 22 days from date of Capgemini signature and is dependent upon FSC 2225 for Release 3.1 being signed and commencing on the same date as this FSC commences. Should this not be the case, any additional resources required to support thi...

1) BRS (for handover to LARA 1.1 Project) RMADS meeting review with the Data Service Data Management 12/13 Functional Specification Issued for Review Online Systems 12/13 Functional Specification Issued for Review Amalgamation 12/13 Specification Issued for Review (on behalf of the IA) LIS 12/13 Functional Specification Issued for Review Refresh of DC test environment from live. Migration Review for 12/13 with the IA Draft DC 12/13 HLSD Issued for Internal Review Draft DC/LIS 12/13 Test Approach Commencement of Technical investigation Stream including analysis of Multi-threading, Multi-byte (extended character) support in LIS/DC, Net TCP OPA proof of concept development, LIS 11/12 baseline performance metrics, and Multi-year PB2 support. Architecture & Design workshops OLDC Development based on received specifications (i.e. Oracle schema) LIS Development based on received specifications Commencement of DC/LIS Test Plans (DC, LIS & NFR) Note: Only the BRS versions stated above have been used to determine this contractors solution An Amalgamation BRS will be produced as part of Stage 1 this will be a joint effort between Capgemini and the Authority (although ownership will remain with the Authority). The BRS will state which Release the requirement is targeted for. The architectural investigation stream above will include a series of technical investigations where it may be jointly agreed that the best course of action would be to make a targeted enhancement to the 11/12 Data Collection system in order to forecast its ability to meet an NFR and/or address an area of operational concern for 12/13. This would not have secured Service Gateway 2 or 3 prior to release. It is proposed the project submit a detailed change note with a targeted test approach for each change. It is proposed that all DC, PFR and LIS Releases would share SG0 and 6. Each stage would require a separate Service Gate 1 and 5 with a split SG2, 3, and 4 for each release. Based on a project board decision on the 22nd March 2012 (ref: Minutes, section 3.4) and subsequent meetings with the IM Services programme, no ‘re-engineering’ work will be undertaken on the Amalgamation component of LIS.
The Contractor’s Solution the technical proposal from the Contractor which sets out an overview of the proposed solution supported by the necessary detail of the Contractor’s response to the Authority’s Requirements To achieve the requirements specified in section 1 of this FSC, the Contractor has defined the following areas of work: Update the Back to Centre (BtC) functionality in the live environment to address the issues identified as Quick Wins. the production of an indicative transition and stabilisation plan arising from investigation and discovery, and including implementation of non Quick Wins issues. This objective of this plan is to enable the Authority to achieve the remainder of the overall objectives of the IM Portal Stabilisation project as described in the overview part of section 1.

The Contractor’s Solution the technical proposal from the Contractor which sets out an overview of the proposed solution supported by the necessary detail of the Contractor’s response to the Authority’s Requirements Please refer to the: Implementation and Testing Contractor’s Solution [Ref.: 5] and the Course Directory and Learner Passport Integration Design Contractor’s Solution [Ref.: 6] An objective of this FSC is to minimise the risk of performance issues in the live environment following the deployment of the NCS web portal onto the B2C Platform. Subject to IM Services approval, it is planned that this risk will be mitigated by performing indicative performance tests in the newly built B2C environment in live. The capacity of the test team has been designed based on approximately 300 Test Scripts and 3 Test Cycles.
