6. Liaison with MLA IT on system environment issues.
7. Small updates as needed to address priority issues.
8. Maintenance of the 'Web Issues' register for task reporting.

Key findings

This project ensured the continued integrity of MSA’s internal and external software systems.

Benefits to industry

The benefit to industry from this project was the continued access to the myMSA program which is a requirement for all MSA beef and sheepmeat processors to be able to upload beef and sheep carcase grading data and record activities to fulfil MSA integrity requirements. Given its daily use by commercial businesses, this system needs to be available 24/7 and able to be maintained.

MLA action

his online summary will be published on the MLA R&D website.

Future research

Ongoing support and maintenance will be required for myMSA and DCU application.
