Worktribe, the company responsible for producing the University’s pre-award/post-award research administration management system, releases 2 major versions of the application per year. 

Assuming there are no changes to the release schedule this would mean the versions released over this three-year planning cycle are: 

 

Jan

Jul

2022/23 

v2022.1 

v2022.7 

2023/24 

v2023.1 

v2023.7 

2024/25

v2024.1

V2024.7

 

There is a requirement to keep within touching distance of the latest version in order that the University is able to take advantage of functionality which relates to key University business processes, e.g. leveraging performance and functional improvements, legislative changes and increasing demand from research funders and our own researchers. 

This proposal is to take both releases in an annual cycle. It is envisaged that by the end of this planning period the University will never be any more than one major release behind Worktribe’s schedule. 

These releases are separate to the monthly auto patching releases which are managed by Worktribe.
