Financial approval discussion

  • One-time vs recurring cost discussion. How to calculate with tresholds ($75)? We may not have any costs less than $75 if accessories are removed from telecom. 
  • Cellphone accessories to be removed from START, use of GovConnection - agreed upon by Jeff Euben, David Galassi, and Andrea Capelli. 

XTRAIN discussion

  • Adriene: completed position on XTRAIN sunsetting, shopped with tech team. Payroll and access requests in scope for approvals. Tech team reviewing other functions; they will broach topic with functional team. During Len's mini town hall on development and app management - when clients insist on small one-off systems (like XTRAIN), Len will back us up on saying "no" to clients about sustaining these systems.
  • Compliance to be handled by TMS. Access before training or after training but no special workflow for intermingling training and access.
  • Liz: bring XTRAIN stakeholders (from last yr's meeting) back into group. Adriene: Jay Fusco's team will liaise with Judy Offutt's team.
  • Brad: will look into process with compliance folks.
  • Change management needed for this transition to TMS - communication and readiness, work with TMS staff. 6-8 stakeholders for XTRAIN
  • SME for TMS Christine Viele - will help with courses and compliance and added people needing this compliance, etc.

Issues / Concerns:

  • PTAEO Validator is very slow, pending process to speed it up via opening conduit. Should only take .5 sec. instead of 13 sec.
