ICT have completed the installation of Cirqa and it now set up on the server. In order to start the testing phase the Cirqa client has been made available for me to play with on my computer.
It's still very early days and many of our settings seem to have transferred OK but they all have to be put through their paces to make sure they do work as expected. IS Oxford indicate for most users a trial period of about a month would be a basic guide but this can vary enormously as every installation is unique.
Once testing is complete I will agree a suitable time to make the switch over with ICT. This is likely to be during a 'holiday' period which will allow us to close all the LRCs for a time if necessary. As soon as we're close to this point I'll let everyone know.
Now I need to get the settings exactly right so I don't email everyone notifications and overdues whilst testing!!!
