CGSWII Hardware or Software. TISCOM (ISD) is the distribution approval point for
CGSWII workstations. Since the number of workstations a unit will receive during migration
was determined by the November 1997 data call from Commandant (G-SIA), these additional
CGSWII workstations will not be migrated. Should a unit desire to have additional approved
CGSWII workstations migrated to SWIII workstations, the unit or its program manager must
submit a request for additional workstations in accordance with this Directive and will be
responsible for funding all aspects of the early migration, including such costs as:
a.
hardware and software procurements,
b.
procurement of necessary cabling materials,
c.
installation of LAN cabling infrastructure in accordance with SWIII cabling standards,
d.
end-user training costs,
e.
any additional support unit costs incurred by ESUs and other IT support organizations
while assisting in the advanced migration, and
f.
the full cost of WAN access.
3.
Nonstandard Hardware or Software. Nonstandard hardware and software is defined as any
item that is not a CGSWII or is not available on the SWIII contract or that differs in
configuration or operating system from the authorized SWIII. Nonstandard hardware or
software will only be approved if SWIII contract items are incapable of supporting business
requirements. Personal preference, cost or missing a cut-off date for ordering SWIII contract
items, are not, by themselves, valid reasons for procuring nonstandard hardware or software.
LCCBs should refer to the COE documentation to assist requesting units in finalizing a
configuration. No unit shall seek support from any ESU, MLC (t), TISCOM, or Regional
Systems Manager (RSM) for any nonstandard items, unless a support agreement has been
reached. An agreement may require the payment of recurring funds for support. The MAL for
units receiving approved nonstandard workstations will be increased by Commandant (G-SIA).
Commandant (G-SIA) is the final approval authority for all initial requests to procure
nonstandard hardware and that hardware's initial software suite, and for nonstandard hardware
and software situations not explicitly covered in this Directive. The LCCBs are the final
approval authorities for follow-on nonstandard hardware or software for the following
scenarios.
a.
Unit desires to acquire peripherals and software for any nonstandard workstations,
provided the system life-cycle costs do not exceed ,000. The LCCBs shall first
determine if that
