01. Detailed Solution Design Change Log

Any moderate or significant changes to the solution design must be resubmitted to TSG for review and approval prior to making any actual implementation change(s). In most cases, the review and approval of any changes would be performed internally within TSG.

Notes:1. Use of a word processing automated change tracking feature is required when resubmitting

this document in order to simplify the review and approval process. Once a version of the document has been approved, then that version of the document should be saved for archival purposes. Prior to submitting a new version of the document, all prior tracked changes should be accepted. This process for resubmission can then be repeated as many times as necessary until the final approval has been issued.

2. Failure to resubmit changes for review and approval could result in a recommendation by TSG that the project approval status be reconsidered. If there are any questions as to whether or not a change is substantive enough to warrant review and approval, please send an email on eau.mita@gov.mt for clarification.

3. Maintain a summary of changes in the table below.

02.2 Detail Solution Design Description

Provide a diagram (or diagrams) with corresponding narrative with that depicts an accurate, detailed, and complete description of the detail design for the entire solution. The design must document how each of the requirements specified in the preliminary design will be physically accomplished. The detailed design must align with the Principles, Practices, and Standards that are published in the http://ictpolicies.gov.mt and https://mita.gov.mt/en/eGov/DevelopmentToolkit/eGovServicestoolkit/Pages/eGov-Services-toolkits.aspx portals respectively.

Almost all details should be known at this point in the design process, including specific hardware related information utilized by the hosting service provider. Design objectives such as Reliability, Availability, Scalability, Secureability, Interoperability, and use of Common Infrastructure should be adequately reflected in the physical design. All aspects of the application, network, security, and integration architecture, as well as any other pertinent uses of technology to solve specific business requirements (e.g. document imaging, channel support for the numerous client form factors such as smart phone, PDA etc) should be documented.
