• Maintain system logging for all transactions.

• Ensure the PDMP clearinghouse has a test environment and meets uptime/response time SLAs.

• Documentation: Delivery of various reports (Biweekly Status Reports, Incident Reports, Post Deployment Support Reports), plans (CPMP, Transition Plan), and artifacts (Version Description Document, Test Data, Test Cases, Test Results).
