Talks are underway with Mail Services to absorb the CIS Delivery service from the Operations Center. It is merely a shift of the resource and Allan Chase from the Operations Center to Mail Services. Allan will still deliver critical documents to points around campus and the local area. The SIS Group is preparing to upgrade the student system to release 4.0 in October. The functional user groups have reported on their work of the past few months and recommended modifications.
Efforts are underway to cull that list to only the most critical needs.
Key decisions on these matters will be made by month's end. Additionally, this is a key time in which the emphasis of the Project shifts from functional users to technical teams. Given the magnitude of tasks ahead of us, there is a clear need to add more manpower to the effort, at least for the short run. We'll also be seeking contract help to supplement existing staff. If you know someone who might be interesting in working with the Project, please refer them to Dwight or Bill Baber.
