Priority and Funding

This is an essential project as the eportal server is not wholly supported by IS Applications Support and has limited disaster recovery in place. In addition the eportal server is outside of its warranty and is due for replacement.

The funding for this project for 2011/12 is paid for by the transfer of staff from ECA to IS Applications.

 

 

Background

Part of the merger with Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) included moving staff into relevant posts and services into relevant support areas with the University. The ECA eportal server was one of those services, the eportal server provides the ECA Portal and Learning Management System (LMS) along with other ECA specific web services.
