College Access Programs, OIT Create New Digital Document Repository

SMU’s College Access Programs office within the Simmons school have long helped first-generation, underrepresented, and low-income students achieve their dreams of a college education here on the Hilltop since 1966.

An outage has been scheduled to begin at 5 PM Friday, June 21 and will continue until the early morning of Monday, June 24. During this period, document scanning, viewing, and workflows will be unavailable. This outage allows OIT to upgrade AdminImages to the newest version of Perceptive Content, the underlying software that powers the service. This upgrade will enable a new web-based interface called Experience, which can be used in multiple browsers and will not require Java-like WebNow. WebNow and all other features of AdminImages will remain unchanged after this upgrade. If you have any questions regarding this outage, let us know at help@smu.edu or 214-768-HELP.
