• The team will attempt to replicate system issues in the Customer’s development, integration and test environments using operational data where appropriate.
• The team will coordinate high priority software bug fixes and patches with any external application providers, vendors, and other Customer partner organizations as necessary.
• The Contractor Team shall, at the Customer’s direction and approval, be responsible for supporting the transition of operational travel applications. This transition is part of a comprehensive and systematic approach to consolidating the Customer’s travel data capabilities within the existing ecosystem. The transition will adhere to deadlines and timelines at the discretion of the Customer.
• The team will develop software transition plans (i.e., deployment procedures) and data validation and migration plan and support the execution of those plans.
• The team will prepare and present briefings to seek approval from Customer mission partners and Group management.
• The team will set up and conduct project meetings with other Customer divisions as necessary to coordinate work and integrate schedules.
• The team will develop technical approaches, validate design plans, and conduct feasibility studies.
