A core part of implementing new and innovative TSMO technology solutions is evolving the existing TMN to a more flexible, resilient, secure, and sustainable configuration. Asset management and the establishment of an Annual Technology Plan (ATP) for TMN Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) for each DOT Region is a key core objection of this project. Based on assessed asset health, the consultant will work with the TSMO Technology team to initiate the cycle for IT/OT replacement by preparing a life-cycle refresh plan for each Region and support the submission of all forms and processes as part of this work. In addition, establishing the lifecycle replacement of all TMC equipment will be necessary for planning for the future.
Suggested team roles for this initiative may include, but are not limited to:
