Report Date
June 2017

Achievements in Last Period

  • FNS (Provet) visited R(D)SVS 5th and 6th June to revisit lab connectivity, Accounts procedures, and to review progress to date; a review with a wider group of users took place on 6th June.
  • 5 members of RDSVS visited the Blue Star Small Animal Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden on 7th June, the launch client of Provet Cloud for FNS.
  • FNS have provided an outline solution for handling security on the proposed Offline (Mobile) application; Iain Fiddes has reviewed this and is satisfied with the proposal however the Project Board have asked for a breakdown of the work before approval.
  • Data Migration work has progressed; UoE have provided an updated Tristan database extract for FNS to re-run their scripts against and we expect to be in a position where the migration process can be signed off  by end-July.

Issues

  • No major issues.
  • Authentication testing on TEST not yet complete; awaiting further checks to determine if behaviour is as expected.
  • Biobank functionality has been requested however the Project Board agreed that the focus remains on the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for the initial Phase 1 launch and therefore anything more than the current available functionality is out of scope and if necessary expectations will be set again with RDSVS staff and FNS.

 

Next Steps

  • Pilot of Provet Cloud alongside Tristan for Equine and Farm (w/c 10/07/17)
  • Review project plan, timeline, estimates for next Project Board w/c 10/07/17.
  • Review budget, resourcing, timeline and milestones.

The project current status is AMBER due to the Phase 1 launch being pushed back to fit in better with RDSVS staff availability and preparation for the launch.
