  Change Request: New System Process

   

  Description: 

  Disconnected ELMS instances currently lack a scalable and reliable method to exchange data with the enterprise system. This limits both the reporting of maintenance activity and the visibility of asset data at the enterprise level, which is critical for decision-making and readiness tracking.

   

  Recommended: 

  Recommend implementing a Data Warehousing layer to act as a central hub for integrating and synchronizing data from both connected and disconnected ELMS instances. This would be supported by a synchronization process to export, encrypt, and transmit data from a disconnected ELMS instance, then decrypt, validate, and apply updates to an Enterprise ELMS instance. The same process would support downstream updates, such as catalog changes, to disconnected environments.

  Mission Critical: This is a new system process involving architecture enhancements, data synchronization routines, and visualization/dashboard capabilities for enterprise-wide maintenance and asset visibility. Note: This SCR is to develop a prototype for 2-way communication between the ELMS enterprise and disconnected copies of ELMS running in their environment.  The success of the prototype will determine whether the functionality will become an operational element of the ELMS environment.

  Benefits: The proposed solution supports disconnected operations while enabling timely, secure, and controlled data exchange with the enterprise system. It provides a foundation for enhanced visibility, cross-service analytics, and future expansion while simplifying system-to-system communication and improving the scalability of ELMS architecture..

  Frequency: Daily

  Users: This SCR should it go to production could impact all users of ELMS.
