The EDCAPS program had been underway for over two years and various components of the program had been procured using a combination of procurement vehicles. As a result, all of the EDCAPS components were in different phases or stages of the development cycle. The integration and coordination of each of the EDCAPS components became a major concern of the Department. After reviewing the status of EDCAPS and several alternatives, the Department decided to institute enhanced configuration management processes and procedures. The objective was to implement, baseline and benchmark EDCAPS to assess overall capability and suitability.

IES established a change control board and developed detailed processes for that board. The IES team participated in the execution of the change control board as well. The team also established processes to integrate development teams and systems testing.
