Matrix Systems and Technologies, Inc Awarded Systems Design Architecture Contract Task Order

March 29, 2010 - PRLog -- Matrix Systems & Technologies, Inc. was awarded the CATS II Task Order Contract for Systems Design Architecture in support of Maryland’s Centralized Collection Unit (CCU). The CCU's primary IT system was implemented over 20 years ago, as a result several risks have been identified that are driving the replacement of the legacy system and therefore, the goal of the CCU Systems Modernization project is to improve the operational efficiency through the use of Information Technology (IT).

Expertise:

Matrix Systems & Technologies, Inc. will apply its expertise in tax systems, financial systems modernization, data warehouse, and business intelligence to support the following efforts of the CCU:

   * Replacement of the core collection system with a state-of-the-art Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS)
   * Development of a web application with workflow and approval cycles
   * Implementation of a web portal / dashboard to review account status, reports, and metrics
   * Development of an interface between the existing telephony, Interactive Voice Response (IVR)
   * Implementation of a digital imaging archiving system
   * Improvement of the interface architecture
   * Consolidation and integration of several desktop databases and spreadsheets used to augment the legacy application
   * Modification of the satellite facilities to accommodate system changes
   * Delivery of a fully integrated solution with single sign-on capabilities, hierarchical user level security, and extensive audit and history logging capability.

Methodology:

Approaching Systems Design, Matrix Systems & Technologies, Inc. will focus on system requirements, operating environment, system and subsystem architecture, files and database design, input formats, output layouts, human-machine interfaces, detailed design, processing logic, and external interfaces in order to support Maryland’s Enterprise Architecture (EA) and Maryland's Technical Architecture Framework (MTAF).

More specifically Matrix Systems & Technologies, Inc. will support the CCU’s Modernization by developing:

   * Architecture Requirements that include usability, performance, reliability, design, implementation, interface, and physical requirements.
   * Conceptual Architecture Diagrams that depict high-level organizing structure of the system identifies architectural components and their responsibilities and relationships.
   * Logical Architecture documents that provide a definition of the application architecture, at a logical level, including both the business subsystems, with dependencies, and the distribution strategy for the business subsystems.

Likewise, Matrix Systems & Technologies, Inc. will be assisting in the Procurement, Design, Integration, Test and Implementation phases of the CCU’s Modernization.
