In this issue: What’s Happening During the UT Works Transition / How to Get Help with Using UT Works / Looking Ahead

At 4 p.m. on October 31, 2024, both FAMIS and WORQS will go offline. This marks the end of an era (Happy Retirement FAMIS and WORQS!) and the beginning of the transition to UT Works.

The program team and business units have worked together to ensure that everyone can get the help they need to enable them to use UT Works successfully after go-live on November 5, 2024.

As the go-live transition will include freezing WORQS to prevent customers from submitting new requests, campus customers will also receive instructions on how to request assistance with any issues that may arise during the transition window. These instructions will ensure that units transitioning to UT Works continue to support their customers across the University.

During September, UT Works Trainers taught 22 classes focused on Supervisors and Warehouse Managers, Capital Planning and Project Management (CPPM) Project Managers, Asset Managers, and Central Warehouse personnel.  Some of these courses will continue through October with other training courses including Technician, Asset Manager, CPPM Inspector, CPPM Accounting, and Custodial beginning in October and continuing through go0live.

To help ensure that everyone can use UT Works successfully after go-live, the program team and business units have worked together to create multiple ways to get support when needed.

UT Works will go live on November 5, 2024.

While you may have seen the term Go-Live in previous UT Works Program communications, and some of you may even be familiar with the term cutover from working on physical infrastructure projects, you may not have heard it in connection to UT Works.  As these are both terms you certainly will be hearing a lot more often this fall, we felt it would be useful to share a quick primer on what they mean in the context of UT Works.
