XML, Web Services and SOA For specific legacy application enhancements, DETR has or is deploying XML, web services and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) technologies to link and integrate heterogeneous applications. The technology facilitates transfer of data between DETR’s applications using standard interfaces and messaging schemas. Oracle’s SOA Suite, a recently acquired technology, is being deployed as part of DETR’s current data integration strategy with the objective of reducing development time and maintenance costs for building integrated solutions. SOA capabilities the agency is pursuing include standardized messaging schemas, service directory and discovery, business process orchestration and activity monitoring and web services management. Data Encryption DETR utilizes the Oracle Advanced Security Option (ASO) to transparently encrypt personal identifying (PI) information such as client Social Security Numbers stored in Oracle databases without requiring major modification to existing Oracle based applications. DETR has future plans to deploy a similar product to allow transparent encryption of PI information stored by applications using SQL Server databases. DISASTER RECOVERY ENVIRONMENT Disaster recovery for the current systems environment includes two (2) procedures. disaster recovery for the mainframe environment is maintained and managed by the State of Nevada Enterprise Information Technology Services (EITS), the State’s central IT unit. EITS works with other State agencies to ensure that mainframe components and related applications are recoverable from disaster. Multiple State agencies rely on this first recovery procedure. The second recovery procedure is used by DETR to recover mission-critical servers. Utilizing server space both in Northern and Southern Nevada, DETR replicates and shares information between the two locations for systems recovery purposes. PROJECT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE AND Current software products and tools utilized by DETR for workforce modernization include: MS Project 2003 with MS Project Server and Project Web Access available; MS Office 2010 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, VISIO, InfoPath); MS SharePoint 2007; and Borland CaliberRM and DefineIT 2008 (used for requirements management). To ensure future compatibility and maintainability of project management content, vendors proposing additional or project management software must identify the software in
