The solution also involves configuration optimization, code development/deployment and design of Steady State Plans with responsibility matrix & FTE estimates to manage infra lifecycle/capacity through new processes, automation of operational reports via Cognos and IEM Dashboard upgrade. Lessons Learned outlined 11 new requirements, their priorities, cost and schedule.
