Team Noridian's solution alignment with Seven Standards and Conditions. Team Noridian'sMMIS solution will be aligned with the CMS guidance specified in the Seven Standards and Conditions.Modularity StandardComponents are SOA Based. eCAMS is a SOA-based system. It has a portfolio of business andtechnical services that enable our solution to support business processes more effectively. These servicesare accessible through multiple channels and are available across business process areas, based onrequirements, via the EXACT Integration Services. Business services are more contained within abusiness process area or related process areas; technical services are common and shared across all ormost business process areas. eCAMS aligned with MITA provides services that enable better and moreefficient business processes. Through the EXACT framework, these services enable eCAMS to provideaccess to business process areas, to functions within the overall MMIS application, and to be interfacedvia EXACT with external components to facilitate exchange of information from external agencies andentities as may be required.Use of Systems Development Lifecycle Methodologies. Team Noridian's system design methodology isa subset of the overall SDLC methodology called iVision360. iVision360 is the methodology TeamNoridian uses to develop and implement MMIS solutions — it maps every activity and artifact necessaryto successfully traverse the life cycle from planning to CMS certification. iVision360 is a unique blend ofwaterfall methodology, iterative agile development, and rapid prototyping. We created and adapted thisdevelopment methodology for application in the Design, Development, and Implementation (DDI) phaseof eCAMS, with success in the states of Washington and Michigan. In iVision360, design, development,and test are conducted through a series of iterations culminating in a functioning release of software.It offers the following benefits:• Faster time-to-market by delivering working software for review in weeks rather than months• Decreased risk by better aligning users and developers• Get users involved early in understanding business rules and validating design assumptions• Identifies more defects earlier in the process allowing for a smoother implementation in production• Allows for concurrent development of different system components and integrated testing at a muchearlier point in the SDLC processIdentification and Description of Open Interfaces. Team Noridian will document all Service interfacesin an Interface Control Document (ICD). This ICD will contain details of hardware, operating systems,software, memory, service packs, product keys, and versions. The ICD will identify all interfaces in thesystem and how those interfaces will be maintained.9 | 16
