We've been so busy with the conversion that we forgot to update the blog for the past two weeks! Here's what we've been up to:
- Constituent Management Collaboration Workshop. On November 3rd we had a 3 hour teleconference workshop with Carole from Datatel, going over all the PID screens in Colleague that had implications for the conversion, as well as lots and lots of valcode tables. For a topic that had the potential to be deadly, it was a surprisingly interesting and fast moving session.
- Conversion Consulting. Tuesday, November 4th we had our first of many conversion consulting calls with Rachna from Datatel. Rachna was very helpful in answering our questions, and she seemed pleased with our progress. We're looking forward to working with her through the process.
- Translation Tables! One hundred and twenty-two of them, to be exact. We're doing the groundwork for mapping Benefactor's code files and valcode tables into Colleague. At Datatel's recommendation we're doing this work in production so we won't need to re-do it with each test conversion.
- LBPMing. Of course. But Todd's making remarkable progress here and sees the light at the end of the tunnel.
- Security. We're starting to look at what security needs to be set up in CA. This is another case of wanting to do something just once, so we'll get this set up now in production and it will be ready in the conversion environment when we need people to go in there and start testing.
