Impact and Dependencies

Changes to the HESA/SFC/TL program cannot commence until the 2012/3 HESA Student Return has been signed off by the Principal. In principle we can commence once HESA confirm that sign off is a formality and we will not be required to rerun the 2012/3 return to address data quality issues.

SAC024 SITS Upgrade from 8.6.0 to 8.7.0 will result in downtime on DEV and TEST which will effect development and testing.  The timescales are DEV upgraded December 2013, TEST January 2014 and LIVE March 2014.

DEV and TEST refreshes are also planned for the last quarter of 2013 which are likely to effect development and testing for a period of 1-2 days.
