1. Introduction: NATO had three IKM Tools to support information management: for Document Management (Document Handling System – DHS), for Tasking (Tasker Tracker Enterprise- TTE) and for publishing information (NATO Information Portal – NIP). NCIA upgraded DHS to Enterprise Document Management System (EDMS) and TTE to Tasker Tracker Plus (TT+) in the Operational Network (ON) and Protected Business Network (PBN) under Project P95 Step 1. P95 Step 1 included the upgrade and migration of DHS and TTE applications, from MOSS2007 to SharePoint 2013 and centralizing them in NCI Agency Data Centers.
2. Project Scope: The purpose of this project is to provide Information Administration Services (IAS) and is intended to upgrade the existing NATO Information Portal (NIP), Enterprise Document Management Services (EDMS), the Tasker Tracker Plus (TT+) workflow management system and underlying hardware infrastructure ensuring it uses ITM approved hardware components. In addition, the project intends to proliferate IAS across a range of network domains – currently this capability is primarily available at the NATO SECRET (Operational Network (ON)) level.
P95 Step 2 will deliver:
A solution that will run on top of the ITM hosted SharePoint 2016 platform, an upgrade and migration of the P95 Step 1 deliverables (including data) from SharePoint 2013 to SharePoint 2016 is required.
Extend the IKM tools deployment to the PBN network and two dedicated Mission Network (MIR) as well as Training network.
Architect, procure and install the required hardware, based on the proposed IKM tools solution, and ensure it integrates, and is compliant with, the ITM approved hardware list.
Additional IKM functions will be included:
* Analytics: to process and analyse big amount of data and report it in different ways to the users
* Workflow application: to provide a generic purpose, highly customizable worklow capability usable by the Commands
* Collaborative Workspace: to enhance collaboration among users when sharing information products: documents, images and alike
