Vanguard Institutions Continue Testing

The vanguard institutions continue testing their Alma vanguard pre-production environment. They have worked through a host of data checking tasks and are now testing workflow scenarios. The issues being identified are documented and escalated back to the vendor for further review. Testing in May will include validating external authentication configurations, student information system loads, Primo (OPAC) interface validation, and Universal Borrowing. Vanguard progress will be shared during GUGM 2016!

As concerns are identified, they are being documented and sent to our vendor for analysis. Once the three vanguards are comfortable with their data, the teams will begin testing workflow scenarios (Mid April).
