The current MNCrash 1.0, which was originally launched in 2016, is a robust system that has been honed and enhanced over the years by using user feedback and direct user testing. It is a nationally renowned system and provides an intuitive interface, decision aides, data integration for automation, and built-in logic to streamline data entry and to reduce errors.



However, there is a need to modernize the system, and create a MNCrash 2.0, to meet the needs of users and stakeholders.

• The foundational technology and code are outdated and requires a high learning curve for developers.
• The user-interface has an outdated look and feel.
• The system has four separate platforms, which requires significant resources to maintain and to test. The goal with MNCrash 2.0 is to reduce to one platform.
• The ultimate goal is to remain proactive and avoid system end-of-life issues.
• With modernization, there is an opportunity to increase integration, automation, and improve security. There is opportunity to bring in a modernized tech stack that is more flexible and can quickly meet business and technical needs and changes.

At a high level, the resource will provide expertise and assistance in the development of system enhancements, including determining technical requirements, testing, reporting, and meeting federal and state standards. The resource will provide expertise and assistance in support tasks such as addressing reported system bugs and outages, manage deployments, and implementing software and interface updates. The resource will provide technical and business requirements for the MNCrash application to be used for a replacement system. The resource will provide knowledge transfer.
