99% complete!

Early this morning, migration of the University home page to EchoCI was completed. The team took the opportunity to roll out  updated rotating banner functionality as well.

This means that we are 99% done with our migration, and have 3 sites left to complete. Since the migration began, over 6500 web pages in over 2400 folders were converted, checked and migrated into EchoCI by the Web Services team. Kudos to the Web Services team for their diligence and hard work over the past year to complete this migration!

In fall 2011, we will issue a survey to EchoCI users to gauge their satisfaction with the new system; based on anecdotal feedback we've receive, we anticipate a significant improvement in satisfaction with EchoCI.

As a reminder, if you need help with EchoCI, please contact the A&IT Help Desk at helpdesk@csuci.edu or call 805-437-8587.

95% of web sites have been migrated

Almost done! As of today, 95% of web sites have been migrated into EchoCI. The 7 remaining sites have been scheduled for migration, and should be completed soon.

A minor issue today with logon to EchoCI has been resolved. Any issues with EchoCI logon should be referred to the A&IT Help Desk at helpdesk@csuci.edu or by phone at 805-437-8552.

New features in EchoCI

EchoCI now has the following new features available:

1. Multi-file ZIP upload: EchoCI users can now upload multiple documents or folders to EchoCI. Simply create a ZIP archive of the files on your desktop, click the "Upload" button, and set the "Upload Type" to Zip, and choose the ZIP archive from your desktop. EchoCI will upload and unpack all of the zipped files according to the folder structure in the ZIP archive. This feature is available in all EchoCI web sites. 
2. Dependency Manager: this long-awaited feature enables EchoCI to keep track of where your documents are located, and update any links to those documents in case they are renamed or moved, reducing the need to hunt for broken links. This feature is being selectively enabled on sites in EchoCI. 

Please contact Daniel Martinez with any questions about either of these two features.

88% of sites have been migrated

As of today, 88% of CI's web sites have been migrated to EchoCI. Of the remainder, 9% are scheduled to be completed in the next few weeks, and 3% remain to be scheduled. When complete, the Web Services team will have migrated a total of 136 web sites to EchoCI.

Anecdotal user feedback about EchoCI has been overwhelmingly positive. Once migration is completed, a survey of EchoCI users will be conducted to verify satisfaction with EchoCI, and to compare the results with the WCM Survey conducted between October and November 2009.
