BRIAN will be upgraded on Monday 23rd September. This upgrade beings a new look and feel to BRIAN with a vibrant red banner to emphasise the many changes and improvements.
This message is for information. There is nothing you need to do. All of the existing data will be transferred as part of the upgrade.
Please do not log into BRIAN on Monday 23rd. In preparation for the upgrade, please do not make any changes to the data in BRIAN after Sunday as doing so may mean your changes are lost.
There are some configuration changes to be made to add the grant component and research areas, and checks to be performed so please do not log into BRIAN until Tuesday 24th.
At the same time as we have been preparing for the BRIAN upgrade, we have been developing the new Staff Profile Page application. This will be a major improvement on what we have today. More on this next week once BRIAN has been updated.
