SWAN Symphony Test System Coming Soon

by Aaron Skog

SWAN Libraries, I know many of you are patiently waiting for the Symphony test system. We promised it would be out in January, but due to a variety of reasons I won't get into, we delayed its deployment. The good news is that we reached the step where we can clone the Symphony system we have been working on, and will create the system for you to practice in. We anticipate this will be ready next week. Keep watching for a new migration memo or monitor the Migration Bulletin web feed for the announcement: https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/category/migration-bulletin Aaron Skog SWAN Executive Director 125 Tower Drive Burr Ridge, IL 60527 Phone: 630.734.5122 Fax: 630.734.5056 aaron.skog(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:aaron.skog@railslibraries.info> http://support.swanlibraries.net
