<br />.800393 <br /> <br />Title: Wang Migration <br /> <br />Background: <br />'This initiative affects a majority of our divisions and several critical production applications. <br />The department has two Wang VS minicomputers-a VSlOO and a VS300. The VSlOO <br />('n~nt1v hnncpc !':lIpplicationc tl..<;It C'lunoort tthA D;v;~;on nf n';ldli.f"" T <'Ire. nevt hr....'lll """'liP <br />..............\0. J" ....~_....... .... ..... &au Ul;:1.. ... t't' ... .... ...~......... 'OJ ..... I........ .L.A.I.... -^.L ......,'10.14.1. J~' <br />the CaRIS project will eliminate the need for this machine. The VS300 houses applications <br />that support the Colorado Oil and Gas Information Management System (COGIMS), Inactive <br />and Mined Land Information Systems (IIMUS) and the State Land Information Management <br />System (SUMS). These systems were developed and are maintained by outside consultants. <br />The Division of Water Resources has some applications that were developed in-house and <br />reside on the VS300. Migrating to a new operating environment must include the <br />participation and cooperation of all parties in order to be successful and to ensure minimum <br />disruption to our customers, <br /> <br />Progress: <br />We have accelerated activities regarding the removal from service of the Wang VSlOO aI the <br />Division of Wildlife. Moving the applications that support Great Outdoors Colorado and Big <br />Game Drawings to the VS300 is currently being analyzed. The completion of this effort <br />coupled with the progress being made in CaRIS may allow us to retire the VSlOO before the <br />end of the calendar year. <br /> <br />We are fInalizing an agreement with an outside consultant to conduct a business needs <br />analysis for the State Board of Land Commissioners. This system (SUMS) currently resides <br />on the VS300. Instead of making modifications to the existing system we wish to identify <br />opportunities to reexamine the business requirements of the Board. The needs have <br />substantially changed since the system was'implemented originally. <br /> <br />Summary: <br />The analysis for the Land Board will also tie directly to the business needs of the Oil and <br />Gas Commission. Any recommendations will take into account informational needs of both <br />divisions. Recommendations to upgrade these systems will adhere to departmental <br />information technology standards and guidelines to ensure integration, <br />
