BACKGROUND INFORMATION Currently, the OCC has successfully deployed Adobe LiveCycle Forms ES 3, Avoka Composer 4.x, and Avoka TM 4.x as an Enterprise Service. In order to make data collecting forms available online, offline, and in mobile devices without having to develop a new set of solutions every time, the OCC has purchased the Avoka TM product. The OCC has also implemented an Identity Access Management (IAM) solution based on CA's SiteMinder, and Authminder/Riskminder. This IAM solution allows the OCC to secure all external phasing resources and interfaces, including the data submission processes into the Avoka TM server. The OCC has successfully completed the deployment of the MLR Avoka solution as our first business solution using these technologies. The OCC successfully used the MLR Avoka solution during the 2015 MLR data collection.
