DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE (DOR) DRIVES PROJECT
Project Description - The purpose of this project is to document, configure, integrate, and test two interfaces with the new DOR Driver Record and Integrated Vehicle Enterprise System (DRIVES). The two new interfaces will use existing LEMS Web Services capabilities with National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) Extensible Markup Language (XML) message formats. One interface will be used to send and receive vehicle registration queries and responses to and from DRIVES. The other interface will be used to receive stolen vehicle requests and responses to and from DRIVES.
Monthly Update - The DRIVES vendor continues to work with GBI's message switch vendor for on-time completion of the project. Multiple meetings were held between the DOR project team and the GBI (including the GBI vendor) concerning troubleshooting and resolving issues. Testing continues from the Portal XL test environment and several issues were resolved during the transfer of information between GBI and DOR via the web service. GBI will work with the vendor on the stylesheet layout of the NCIC message responses to make it more user friendly.
GEORGIA APPLICANT PROCESSING SERVICE (GAPS) PROJECT
Project Description - The Georgia Crime Information Center Information Services is seeking to obtain the services of a qualified and experienced vendor to provide an applicant fingerprinting solution that will electronically capture and submit applicant fingerprints to the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS). In addition, the selected vendor shall handle receiving fingerprint search results and disseminate the results to the requestor.
Monthly Update - Bi-weekly meetings are held to receive status updates on development milestones. The vendor continues with development of the new GAPS. GBI completed testing of Deliverable 1 and provided the findings for review.
