• Utilize preferred application code and design principles from the existing version of the AML Web Application codebase to expedite project development and delivery.


• Improving application security posture by reducing known security vulnerabilities that have been patched in newer versions of application software.


• Improving data architecture and application design to optimize data calls and application/server performance.


• Enhance application functionality to improve user data management, reporting, and operational capabilities incorporating 3D data viewing.


• Create new partner data sharing capabilities by developing new Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and data security mechanisms to enhance inter/intra-agency partnerships.


• Meet DOC ETSD web accessibility standards to meet organizational policy and improve accessibility for DMR stakeholders.


• Improved documentation, test plan, and develop CD/CI scripts to improve, modernize, and automate DevSecOps workflows, reduce resource needs, and long-term support/usage.
