## Description

To support the DWP Digital Transformation, DWP need to deliver an API service with connection to legacy \(VME-R\) applications to enable surfacing of award details\. A proof of concept successfully showed the VME-R applications can provide data via REST API\. A subsequent high level design was approved through DWP Governance and work commenced on the solution\. The initial delivery will satisfy the DLA/AA requirements, however further development is needed to add additional applications and support increased volumes\.
