Symphony Training

We finished our 2 weeks of training and everyone is ready for the migration. We started with Circulation, Reports and Catalog training. We followed up with Acq, Serials, Catalog configurations and Admin training.

The SirsiDynix training staff were great. We had two trainers who knew their stuff and came ready to rumble! They trained over 100 + staff and managed to come in early and leave late to assist with other issues. I was really impressed with them.

The Production Server is up and we are ready to migrate the data. The data load will continue throughout the weekend and hopefully will be ready to review on Monday. On Monday, August 16, 2010 we will start to extract our customer information and migrate to the new system.

The system will be down three days but we will be running in "Offline Circulation" mode. We will continue to operate. We are ready! I am ready! We are ready to serve you! Wish us good luck!
