The following projects delivered critical components to continue to support 'legacy' system-to-system interfaces required to interact with the NLIS Database.The 'Bridge' component converts data designed from the old NLIS Database into the new NLIS Database format, which is essential to keep the many existing systems that interface with NLIS operational while they work on migrating to the new system.Implementation of mirror functionality and migration of Bridge reports within the NLIS technology platform to support the decommissioning of the old NLIS database.A new generic Notifications service was developed to replace the existing NLIS Notifications service and form part of the new Integrity Systems portal.
