Project Status

|
As at 30 December 2007
In progress. A large amount of rationalisation has been completed and staff without any need to be in the computer room have had access removed. The work cannot be completed until:
- additional vacant positions have been filled to ensure there is an onsite ITS presence to allow visitors into the computer room. This will occur in Q3 2008.
- Building works for the co-location environment have been completed. These are yet to be scheduled with OFM.
