All times are best estimates.  Any of the activities can take more or less time. A status email will be sent periodically throughout the process to insure you are aware of the progress.  Justine will send an email to you and the others involved as soon as the applications are ready for testing.

 Note that there are no changes or updates to any application or its associated data.  The migrations are basically “copies” of the existing server contents.

In the event of inclement weather, the migration might be postponed.

 

Send any questions to ServerConsolidation@txdot.gov  and Justine.McGrady@nttdata.com  You will receive a reply within 24 hours.

 

Thanks,
