The project will upgrade the core Polopoly CMS application software from 9.16.1 to a newer version that can work with version 11g of the Oracle database and is expected new enhancements to the upgraded version will allow opportunities to be explored.

It has been 18 months since the last Polopoly CMS application upgrade (Dec 11) and we need to keep the software version up to date to ensure it remains supported.

In addition the Oracle database supporting the Polopoly CMS application is currently Oracle 10g. Support for this version of Oracle runs out in July 2013 and we cannot upgrade to Oracle 11g unless we upgrade the Polopoly CMS application.

An upgrade to Oracle 11g (the IS recommend version) is an additional 13/14 project proposal.
