Enterprise Application Consolidation

UNCG will reduce infrastructure costs by consolidating multiple enterprise application environments and managing them in the cloud by Summer 2023.

What is it?

To train users on enterprise (or system-wide) applications and to manage testing of applications when they are upgraded, multiple instances of the applications’ environments are created.

Why are we doing it?

Consolidating these environments and adopting modern practices for managing them in the cloud reduces costs.

How will I be impacted?

Two tiers for development and validation will be dedicated to those activities only, with access limited to only staff involved. Training and testing environments will be available through request and for a specific amount of time.

When will this be implemented?

July 2023 is the current target date for completion of this initiative.

What do I need to do?

If you are an end user who regularly works in back tiers for an enterprise application environment, you will need to work with ITS during the review phase to help identify business activities that will be impacted by this change and make corresponding updates to business processes.
