Application OptimizationProvide a short description of the Position: The Software Analyst will analyze and document OMH applications, workflow processes, and other strategy, standards and best practices for the NYS Office of Mental Health and other agency needs.

The Optimize OMH Applications project is an initiative to update the Office of Mental Health's (OMH) ITS supported Business Applications to align with ITS' overall strategy for applications to be on the current (N) or current - 1 (N-1) version and utilizing shared platforms where possible, thus providing the best support possible for OMH.

For example:
.Net applications are hosted on windows server(s), which have other applications installed on the same platform. This shared platform creates a challenge to make changes to the firewall configuration because of impact on security for other applications. Moving .Net applications to independent windows servers, would reduce firewall based security risks to other applications. Having dedicated servers opens opportunities to partner with participating Qualified Entities' and other eMR's for patient data exchange and single sign-on (SSO) between applications, enabling providers to make most informed treatment decisions on critical ill patients.
