Accomplishments past period:
------------------------------
- Production ITS server upgraded to version 4.6D
- Accounts Receivable added to Production Users
- Simulated stress testing on the SAP test environment (simulated two weeks worth of work in 45 minutes)
- Development 90% done on verification of VISA charges functionality
- With the assistance of the School and Area Coordinators, compiled a list of 54 Community users for the next phase of the pilot
- R3 developed a utility program to upload new ITS authorizations in SAP

Goals for the coming period:
----------------------------
- Increase size of Pilot to about 100 users by the end of October and then begin phased rollout to the general community
- Start the pilot for the verification of VIP charges on the web.

Issues:
---------
- The SAP 4.6C upgrade has taken some ITS resources away from our project.
- We still have a periodic SNC error that has been reported to SAP. There is no solution yet but MIT and SAP are looking into it.

Team Dynamics:
-----------------
Juggling competing responsiblities but we're getting there.
