SAFE has declared itself a CCWIS system and is subject to CCWIS regulations. A list of Automated Functions that SAFE commits to develop is part of the CCWIS declaration along with a timeline for that development. SAFE Automated Functions must be developed in a modular fashion so that each automated function can stand alone and can be placed on the federal repository for potential use by other states.
• The SAFE Technical Team is comprised of State of Utah Department of Technology Services (DTS) employees and contractors embedded onsite at the DHS Admin Building. The SAFE Technical Team works closely with the SAFE Business and Data Teams. SAFE utilizes agile development methodologies both for the development of new Automated Functions and for the maintenance and deprecation of legacy software that exists in both clientserver and web environments. SAFE is moving from a siloed skills model to a fullstack model where people work across a range of technologies. SAFE is also adopting a devops support model that spreads support responsibilities across the team.
