Appendix D - Technical Inventory Worksheet



Appendix D: Technical Inventory Worksheet

The technology inventory is a tool used to help states track the current state of their information sharing environment. These inventories enable states to document their current data layers, hardware, software, and systems in one place. Once complete, the PST can compare the inventory against the operational requirements and the process maps to analyze the gaps between each state’s current and desired end states. Armed with this information, the PST will be able to advise state TWG members on a specific technology acquisition or development strategy.

Members of the state Technology Working Group should complete the below inventories to the best of their ability. This information will improve the PST’s understanding of each state’s current information, thereby increasing the states chances of successfully realizing its future system.

The worksheets below were created to help states easily document their technology inventories. Please add as many rows as necessary to fully document your inventory. This will allow the PST to provide these same inventories in an Excel format to any state who requests one.

WS Purpose

The purpose of the worksheet is to:

• Document states current data layers, hardware, software and systems inventories

• Baseline states current information sharing capability

• Compare the current capability against the desired end state and help the PST make customized suggestions

Outcome

States will have complete inventories of their current information sharing capabilities, and will be able to identify which adjustments will most efficiently achieve their desired end state.
