External Service Integrations

The documents here describe integrations between http://va.gov services and any services that are not directly managed by the http://va.gov team. This includes both services within the VA and services managed by external third parties.

Each document should contain a general description of how the service is integrated with http://va.gov , environment specific details, and contact information for incident management purposes. When applicable, links to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and Interconnection Security Agreement (ISA) should be provided. This information should be catered to the team that assists with the maintenance and operation of the integration, though may additionally be referenced by application developers.

You can start by cloning the template as a starting point for the description.
