system management
This phrase is compositional rather than a term of art. In the context of the quoted passage — listing duties such as assessments and programming alongside it — "system management" carries its plain administrative meaning: the routine operational oversight and administration of information systems, including configuration, maintenance, and operational control. In the IT field more broadly, systems management refers to enterprise-wide administration of distributed systems including computer systems. While NIST's CSRC glossary does define compound phrases built on "system management" — such as System Management Mode, a high-privilege processor operating mode used for low-level system management functions that is entered only after a System Management Interrupt, and System Management Tools (NISTIR 8219) — none of these is the sense the source document uses; the source passage uses the words in their ordinary, compositional combination as a category of administrative work.
