As a non-native speaker, I am thrown off when reading "available to"
instead of the grammatically correct (I believe) "available in". Likewise, "on going" instead of "ongoing" just disrupts my workflow.

Maybe these can be fixed?

[RK] There is a distinct difference between "available to" and "available in".
[RK] "service A is available to entity B" does not mean the same as "service A is available in entity B".  The former indicates that service A is implemented within entity B, the latter indicates merely that entity B uses service A.
[RK] As a real world example consider "The internet banking service of Bank X is available to me", which makes complete sense.  But "The internet banking service of Bank X is available in me" would be nonsense.  I don't know what the OP intended but the difference between these is not purely grammatical, there is a difference in meaning which I must leave the OP to clarify.

[RK] As for the other issue, I too would suggest "ongoing".

[RK] Regards,
[RK] Richard.
