A National Release is planned for January 2017 after testing has been successfully completed at two Test Sites. Deployment will be performed by Local Facility staff and supported by team members from one or more of the operations organizations: Enterprise Systems Engineering (ESE), Field Operations (FO), Enterprise Operations (EO), and/or others. Site Preparation Each site must prepare for the deployment, installation, and implementation of the Micro capabilities. The extent for which they must prepare will vary based upon the sites current processes. The following table describes preparation required by the site prior to deployment.
