Digital Image Submission for Staff complete

The SMI012 project was initiated to improve the experience of new Staff starting with the University, and for new Visitors, with regards to the process for submitting a photograph for use in producing a first University card.  There was also a need to bring the process into line with that of Students, who already submit a digital photo, and so avoid two processes running simultaneously, one for Staff/Visitors and another for Students, with the opportunity also to build on the system which currently works for Students to deliver the same experience for Staff and Visitors.

The scope of the project included the creation and deployment of an additional Digital Image Submission Channel within MyEd to allow all UoE staff to submit digital images this included analysis of the current feed to the Card System from HR and the channel based on the current channel for Students. 

The project also delivered the application upgrade of Cold Fusion to version 11 and completed CSU migration to a supported infrastructure.
