April 2009 Archives

Arkansas Tech is in the process of preparing for a major upgrade of the OneTech Portal. This upgrade to the next version of the OneTech Portal is in support of our Unified Digital Campus initiative, and is required to move forward with upgrades to other systems connected to the OneTech Portal.

What does this mean for me?
Not much for most users. Although the new version of the OneTech Portal will have a new look and feel, most of the features available in the current OneTech Portal will also be available in the new version. However, there are some changes you need to be aware of.

New Features
* Enhanced ability to target content and announcements
We will have the ability to better customize channels, tabs, and announcements to particular groups.
* Enhanced Single Sign-On capabilities
OneTech will contain links providing you with one-click access to other web applications here at Tech like Blackboard, Moodle, Banner and others; not requiring you to log in again.

What about all my data?
Your data will be migrated to the new system. This includes Calendars, Group Data, Course Data, Email, and Address Book data. NOTE: Any customizations to your layout in the current system may not be transferred.

What's the timeline?
We are currently planning this upgrade sometime during the week of May 25th. We will announce an exact date and outage duration when we get closer to our go-live date.

Where can I get more information?
You can find more information about the upgrade by visiting the OneTech Portal Blog (http://blogs.atu.edu/luminis). Updates throughout the process will be posted here. Email and OneTech announcements will be posted with further instructions and information as the go-live date approaches.   

If you have questions or concerns, feel free to contact the Campus Support Center at 479.968.0646 or tech.support@atu.edu.
