One of the key phases of the programme will be when we make the transition from ICIS, and other systems, to Atlas, this is known as cutover.
This does not happen in a single day. The transition from ICIS, and other systems including Teamseer, Talentlink and Discoverer, to Atlas is a 6-week process.
Cutover phases
Phase one
An initial four-week period focused on staggered system freezes in ICIS and data migration activities.
Phase two
A final two-week period involving the phased activation of Atlas functionality and other system integrations.
The transition between systems must fit around existing business process cycles, such as payroll and bursaries, to avoid any disruption to these dates and ensure payments are accurate.
System freezes and internal cut off dates will be communicated in October. We have captured questions, concerns and advice requirements from previous cutover workshops and will factor this into our key dates, deadlines, advice and mitigations for freeze periods.
