[insert overarching recommendations]Revalidation screens and TIS Core screens should be aligned in design terms
A robust and reliable service must be provided
Proper product support must be provided

The service should be based in the cloud, either AWS or Azure
AWS would be the preferred choice as it has a much richer offering than Azure
The service should be containerised so that moving cloud providers is relatively easy
The service should be implemented using micro-service principles
The back end services should be decoupled from the web interface and each other to allow for easy scaling
Data recommendations:
Data items should not be duplicated within TIS
TIS identifier should be removed from screens and replaced with GMC/GDC number
Correlation Ids should be used on messages so that they can be tracked through the system
All data changes should be audited
Revalidation data should be exported to the data warehouse to enable reporting from Tableau
Governance recommendations:
There should be a corporate data governance team and data dictionary
