Overview

Background

Estates and Buildings have re-affirmed that the Archibus Facilities Management system is the system required to enable them to maintain the facilities throughout the University estate.  In addition, the strategy of the supplier Archibus is to focus on-going development of the product through the browser based WebCentral application as opposed to the windows client based application.

The current WebCentral based applications are being serviced by ageing technology that is approaching its end of life with regards manufacturer support.   As a result there is now the requirement for the current application servers used by WebCentral to be migrated onto the available new infrastructure.

To maintain consistency regarding the on-going development and utilisation of WebCentral, the infrastructure migrations will  relate to all environments, namely Development, Test and Live
