I&C Modernization Workshop
• Who & Why?– Anyone considering digital I&C Upgrades who have not
yet developed a comprehensive plan for implementation. – Past digital I&C upgrades have resulted in large variability
in costs and problems encountered in specifying, integrating,installing, operating and maintaining the upgraded systems.
– Problems usually traced to the absence of a systematic approach in assessing all elements associated with the project lifecycle.
• Workshop for Success– Assist You in the formulation of a I&C Modernization
Plan and process to implement– Conducted at Your site in concert with Your personnel– Two to three day duration
Tailored to Your Needs
March 7, 2003 NUSMG Seminar Slide 20
Creating Roadmap
• Review workshop process & procedures• Identify systems to be included in plan• Establish I&C database format & content • Establish modernization plan parameters,
weighting factors, and criteria• Establish funding level criteria and system
funding allocations• Define methodology for prioritizing systems• Identify organizational and system constraints• Perform system walkdown/inventory assessments for representative
I&C System
