The Card System, which plays a central part in providing a smooth experience for staff and students joining the university, is running on archaic software (Oracle Forms 6).  This exposes the university to a risk that we wil be unable to respond to a problem or that we will lose the skills necessary to maintain and develop the system.  See http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/issue-archive/2010/toolssod-3-129969.pdf for a statement of direction from Oracle regarding Oracle Forms.

This project will migrate it to a supported system in line with the rest of the university’s corporate infrastructure.  This will ensure support from the software vendor is available and will ensure that IS Apps has the skills to maintain and develop the system.
