Modernize existing IT solutions: Modernize or re-engineer IT solutions that already exist in production, with the intent to replace the legacy system or application with a modernized, re-engineered, or new-technology solution, potentially impacting existing business processes and operations. These requests typically result from an IT solution that reaches end-of-life or becomes obsolete, where maintenance or enhancements result in low return on investment, or performing maintenance or enhancements are no longer feasible, viable, or scalable to meet business needs. Projects of this type must also include full SDLC activities, as defined by HR�s SDLC. Projects of this type typically entail disposing of or decommissioning the IT solution being replaced. Enhance existing IT solutions: A single change or group of changes to IT solutions that already exist in production, to provide for new, changed, or deleted functionality, features, or capability. These requests typically result from changes in federal mandates, changed business processes, major version upgrades, or enhanced business needs, but there is no intent to replace an existing IT solution. Projects of this type must also include full SDLC activities, as defined by HR�s SDLC. Software maintenance: Change(s) to IT solutions that already exist in production, to operate according to current approved requirements, and does not change functionality, features, or capabilities.
