(3)  Workforce system entities shall maximize public access to data, while complying with legitimate security, privacy, and confidentiality requirements.

(5)  The redundant capture of data shall, insofar as possible, be eliminated.

(6)  Only data that are auditable or that otherwise can be determined to be accurate, valid, and reliable shall be maintained in workforce information systems.

(7)  The design of workforce information systems shall support technological flexibility for users without compromising system integration or data integrity, be based upon open standards, and use platform-independent technologies to the fullest extent possible.

B.  Information that is essential to the integrated delivery of services through the one-stop delivery system shall be shared between partner agencies within the workforce system to the full extent permitted under state and federal law.
