  "text": "In 2013, the Preparatory Commission engaged in an effort to expand its current NDC-in-a-Box offering with additional software, enabling users to more easily combine data from the IMS network with data from local and national stations and also to significantly improve the NDCs' processing capability. As part of this effort, a license agreement was signed in December 2013 with the Helmholtz-Centre Potsdam GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, enabling the Preparatory Commission to distribute the SeisComp3 software as part of the NDC-in-a-Box offering to its authorised users for purposes of IMS data processing and analysis. Software development work for the first release of Extended NDC-in-a-Box to Alpha Testers has currently been completed and testing by NDCs is on-going. The framework of the extended NDC-in-a-box was discussed, requirements refined and considered acceptable by NDC representatives during the DPSS sessions of the 2014 NDC workshop held in Vienna (12 to 16 May). At the end of the project, the same NDC representatives, acting as Alpha Testers, will have the opportunity to test the new software distribution at their sites. Interest from CTBTO Member States in requirements definition and testing has been overwhelming despite the time and equipment requirements placed upon NDC representatives that take part in the project.",
