2. The Problem

<Summarize the integration problem. What doesn’t work, or what needs to work.>

3. Key Use Case

<Describe a short use case scenario from the user perspective. The use case should demonstrate the integration/workflow problem.>

<If known, list standards which might be relevant to the solution>

<What are some of the risks or open issues to be addressed?>

<This is the brief proposal. Try to keep it to 1 or at most 2 pages>
