new functionality.
             c. Leverage the existing application, while establishing a new foundation for the Work Programs System. That is, determine the most advantageous technical architecture, and implement work programs functionality one component at a time under the new architecture.
             d. Build a fully functional Work Programs application, which includes all of the functionality of the existing system and the additional functionality.
             To successfully accomplish the goals of Tthe Family Investment Administration relies on the Work Opportunities Management Information System (WOMIS). WOMIS is a DataFlex (DOS) applications running on an AST (Dual) 200MHZ Pentium Pro server using Novell Netware. This system currently supports over 200 users in all 24 of Maryland's jurisdictions. Exhibit 1 outlines the details of the current architecture. The systems' primary functions are to:
              collect work activity and attendance information,
              support case management and
              provide information to program administrators.
             The TANF federal reporting requirements are met largely by including WOMIS data regarding work activities. While the WOMIS application does provide some desirable functionality to meet the work programs requirements, the system falls significantly short in providing an extensible Work Programs system that will facilitate the entry, verification and reporting of data related to work information to meet the needs of the Federal Government, the State, and the customers.
