3. Technical support for processors in utilisation of the myMSA system.

7. Small updates as needed to address priority issues.

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.
