Integration/SDLC – ITSM

enabled HMS to demonstrate its vast knowledge in providing integration into various VistA and COTs systems within VA. Whether the requirements were to provide PIV/CAC support tied into ADFS or monitoring into a single pane using SolarWinds, HMS delivered seamless integration with a minimal footprint into VA systems. Integration is not just development but requires the necessary rigors following a full SDLC from requirements, test/508, security, and deployment while working in parallel with the existing application teams.

HMS covers a wide spectrum in delivering and supporting security services within VA, which all contribute to the requirements crucial in the RPOS program. Today, we provide Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), where HMS provides services that include analysis that identifies risks associated with the use of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and/or Protected Health Information (PHI). PIA provides a framework for ensuring vital data stewardship issues are identified, addressed, and incorporated into all phases of the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) of VA’s IT assets.
