Site Resource Requirements

Legacy application subject-matter experts (SMEs) are critical to legacy data archiving projects. Without insight to the current legacy application, replicating functionality in an archive environment can be a slow and tedious process.

Site resources are needed to facilitate archiving of a core legacy application, whether the transition is managed by the enterprise team or the site team.

Executive ownership: Usually the site CIO or system clinical business office (CBO) executives, these project owners are Involved in planning stages of the archiving application setup

Site project manager (PM): The PM oversees the site-specific project tasks, resource coordination, and accountability, and is involved in all stages of archiving application setup: planning, design, build, testing, deployment, and decommissioning.

Legacy data transfer specialist (SME): This SME has site and/or application specific knowledge about how data is stored and transferred from the legacy application. This person may be able to perform extractions directly, or may work in conjunction with external extraction providers to deliver the legacy application data to archiving.

Application subject matter experts (SMEs): These SMEs should be legacy application super-users with deep understanding of how the archive system will be required to support future organizational objectives, and should be the current and intended primary application users. They serve as liaisons to site users and provide functional input to solution development.

Testing and validation resources: If needed based on the size or complexity of the application, additional users can assist with validation of both the data extract and the application development, as well as other testing as needed.
