How are upgrades delivered?

OVERS is a Web-based system so it will be rare that any upgrades or changes need to be made on facilities systems. Only computers with attached biometric devices need any locally-installed software, which consists of the biometric device drivers and Microsoft .Net 2.0 or higher. Facilities should not need to re-install or upgrade software on their computer unless changing biometric equipment. This OVERS application software is Web-based and resides on servers located at the State Data Center, with other State mission-critical systems. Upgrades to the system are made by the state and the vendor of the software directly to the servers. As a user logs in they will be using the current application code. OVERS applications are Web-based and do not require any installation, maintenance or periodic upgrades by local facility IT staff. The only locally installed software is the biometric drivers discussed in the previous paragraph.
