User Driven / State and Local Tool
AOSOS has been designed primarily based on functionality and broad business requirements identified by the participating states. It is critical that future development be based on both state and local level prioritized business requirements. The AOSOS Consortium members jointly and equally share that responsibility.
Collaborative Development
AOSOS is a robust and comprehensive system that, based on past experience, requires a great deal of user input into the development process. As such, the AOSOS Consortium requires participation from all of its members to represent their individual organization’s interests, as well as the AOSOS Consortium’s interests as a whole.
Continuously Improving Product
Consistent with the WIA guiding principle of “continuous improvement”, the AOSOS Consortium’s vision for AOSOS is that of a robust, flexible work in progress evolving to meet the changing needs of its users and enhance one-stop service delivery.
Customer Driven Design
While AOSOS is responsive to legislative mandates, Federal policy, and State Workforce Investment Boards, the AOSOS Consortium is also mindful of and incorporates the needs of workforce development professionals and end customers (employers, job seekers, and service providers) in AOSOS.
