Critical technological objectives of this RFP include the procurement of:
1. A true Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) platform which will bring interoperability of
service-based modules, preferably as licensed products, to support DHS' modernization
and continual enterprise evolution without restricting its ever-changing business needs
2. A highly configurable and flexible platform that will be an enabler of the expansion of
technological capabilities to other state and federal agencies
3. An enterprise solution that is designed at its core to allow Commercial-Off-The-Shelf
(COTS) products be installed, integrated, and upgraded through scheduled releases
4. Software modules that are implemented and modified by user configurations, not through
constant custom coding that will result in yet another one-off MMIS
