Tool 10 Technology Solutions – Purpose: Various technology solutions exist to enable more effective planning and management of the IROPS contingency response activities. While most of these solutions deal with communication and information sharing, some are specific solutions that address unique processes. This overview section provides information in two separate formats. The first is a breakdown of key functional requirements and the type of technology solution that is available at varying cost levels. The second is a breakdown of the various solution types with summary level information on the function, phase of use, operational implementation location, and key operational stakeholders. Technology Support for Functional Requirements The following table identifies a set of generalized functional requirements of the IROPS contingency planning and management process. For each requirement noted, technology solutions at a progressive level of magnitude in both cost and complexity are identified. The intent of this table is to provide guidance as to the various options available to meet the functional needs. While it can be seen that standard computer and communication devices can provide the required functionality, specialized solutions can greatly improve the monitoring, communication, and response capabilities. It should be noted that a single solution may be configured to meet multiple functional requirements.
