Why not wait?
To introduce the least amount of disruption to the user community the summer is the best time migrate to a new platform. This is in line with the faculty requests during the 2015 migration discussion.
Additionally, SUNY Central continues to develop new tools and data requirements for SUNY Campuses. By not utilizing a common platform as SUNY Central we cannot stay compliant with SUNY Information & Security standards.
