Over the next four to six weeks, CIS will engage a consulting company to conduct an assessment of the Re-Hosting Project. Since the Catalog project has integral linkages with the HP3000 and related systems, the start date for this project will be postponed for a few weeks. As such, the Portal project will become the more immediate priority of the CAR Initiative. In the next few weeks, the CAR Portal Team will begin to formalize the vision and scope for this solution. For more information on the Portal Deployment Kit Project, refer to the Portal project page.
