Some features like printing, copying and moving the cursor with the mouse are not available at this time. Audrey gave a slide presentation on the status of the project and the current problems. The SIS project is extremely large - approximately 800 programs and 2 million lines of code. The number of issues remains at around 80 to 90 outstanding issues. As they resolve some we are able to test further and this opens up new issues.
Progress is steady, but far too slow.
As a result Forecross expanded their client base too fast and didn't have the appropriate staffing and infrastructure to keep up. We are one of those clients caught in this expansion. The SIS is a very large complex system and they are experiencing difficulties with our complexity. Forecross was overly optimistic with their initial estimates. Although Forecross has increased staff on the project, the additional staff are new to Forecross and the SIS and there is a fairly large learning curve.
