ConceptualizationInfrastructure

Physical Inspection• Coordinated by ACC Electrical Engineer • Electric Shop questionnaire developed• Determine electrical requirements

Electrical Upgrades• New Distribution Panels, Circuits, Whips, Receptacles• $$ ??• Scheduling

Installation GIO Outreach• Opportunity to work with Comm & CE electrical shops

ConceptualizationSpecial Partnerships

ACC/SCSO CE Information Technology Consultant• Staffs Service Level Agreement• Works Certificate to Operate issues/concerns

AF Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)• PKI office issues certificates• Required for running Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

ACC Network Operations and Security Center (NOSC)• Server alias• Pushes AFCERTS

Phase 2Delivery

• General Interface

• Standardization

• No Stovepipes

• CTO Legitimizes

• SMART Development

Lessons LearnedPreparation

• Have an interim CtO

• Establish SLA Early

• Spend time on the plan with all installation support• Increases efficiency• Clear understanding of the level of effort for all parties

• Pilot test 1st Base

Lessons LearnedChallenges

• Manage expectations• Out of the Box functionality – Tools needed?• Keep GIO focused on managing the new system…not on app

development

• COMM’s support for back-ups – from not having an SLA

• Understanding Software Limitations • example: ArcMap Server

• Sustainment

Lessons LearnedSuccesses

• Documentation• Has been used at non-ACC bases

• Level of Coordination with multiple AF organizations

• Letting the base GIO perform install as opposed to HQ staff
