Upgrade Process

The upgrade procedure is initiated by LIS. LIS contacts the department selected as next for upgrading to schedule a meeting with the members of the department. At the meeting, handouts are distributed that show current hardware, room number, and Track-It “name”of each workstation and printer. We discuss the each workstation and printer, and answer questions about peripherals, accessories, etc. At the meeting, we will schedule pertinent training for the department and begin to schedule the upgrades for the computers within the department. The intent is for the power users to be upgraded first in each department so they are able to help others in the department use new hardware and software more effectively.

The following upgrade conversations will be held Spring 2010:
