Hi All: Hope everyone is well. Highlights for this week include:
1. Upcoming architecture, UI and assembly contest results for client to review
2. Client to provide details for integration with MNITS
3. Since death master SS file not available for coding purposes, alternate strategy (described in issue 2 below) will be pursued.
4. Topcoder to propose integration plan for synchronizing with legacy data sources.
See full report below. If there are questions or comments, please let us know.
Thanks
Sarah

Risk:IBM License test requires time to conduct test and review results. If the results are not as expected, a new/alternate strategy/discussions may be requiredAction: Expedite testing by using an IBM copilot to set up smart clouds, enabling POC testing on the IBM stack.
Update: Issue is still unresolved – alternate strategies will be explored in addition to pursuing smart cloud set-up |

Risk: A significant number of new provider organizations have been provided by client in mid-late September timeframe. As a result the time to complete the UI wireframes that included these new organizational types has increased.Action: Run the required organizational wireframes contests as aggressively as possible, including in parallel where possible, or with very short periods between contests where parallel is not possible. |

Issue: Developers require API access to 3rd sites to check for licensing and other authorization information. Also concerns where there are expiration dates for licenses, licensing information is not available or if there is use of CAPTCH or other technologies that prevent easy reading of data on the 3rdparty external site. Update (Aug 16, 2012): MN DHS and CMS (state and federal health agencies respectively) are looking into getting API access.
Alternate: Create well-formatted private web pages that allows for screen-scraping, and query with querystring tokens, post, etc |

Issue: Strategy required on IBM stack vs. generic stackResolution: Build two POCs ( “hello world” applications) and implement open source stack version. Client will then prioritize elements to port to the IBM stack |
