Can Someone Translate This Into English?

     From FCW:
The Social Security Administration is moving forward with back-end tech and records systems to support the agency's long-term plan to modernize and improve customer service. 
As SSA continues to invest in its online help and customer services, the Customer Engagement Tools record system will collect and store electronic communications between SSA personnel and beneficiaries with "my Social Security" accounts. 
The database, which will be developed in-house, will also allow SSA's customer-facing systems quick access to user data. 
A Social Security spokesperson told FCW the agency anticipates the system will be ready for use in fiscal year 2018, and that 10 percent of current my Social Security account holders will be able to access the CET system in its first release.

  2. I'd suggest that they are trying to unify various user support systems and tie them together into a CRM (customer resource management) system based on mySocialSecurity. Guessing that the current systems are essentially all silos and therefore inhospitable to employees trying to handle customer inquiries. Using mySSA, communications from that tool would be stored in a way that it can and will be linked or accessible to other SSA support tools. Just my reading of those words.
