Note NCES will transform infrastructure services
that currently exist in legacy programs/projects
such as COE, IDM, DMS, DCTS, and others. Legacy
systems will require sustainment until existing
infrastructure can be transitioned.

Issues

• Graceful legacy transition is important
• Need for extensive Teamwork
• Must be collaborative with other Service/Agency
  initiatives
• PSA/Service/Agency leads for COIs
• Deployment strategy needs refinement
  (centralized, decentralized, federated,
  integrated)
• Security, Security, Security
• Must consider the last tactical mile

Summary

• NCES is the approach to providing the GIG
  infrastructure needed for timely, secure,
  ubiquitous edge user access to decision quality
  information
