  14. Prior Argus Experience Single CMS shared by all Departments for about a decade - YPM staff cohabiting internally and realizing commonalities - streamlined system administration - ease strain of future migration path

  19. Even with best intentions the ‘EMu Big Picture’ can remain a bit fuzzy…

  22. Specimens EMu Users Groupa.k.a. Weekly Therapy- started meetings at go-live- topic du jour as a kick off- then open season on issues - driven by users' experiences

  23. Some Miscellaneous Statistics • 1,200,000 Argus records => 2,100,000 EMu records • 3 days for Argus server to spit out the final migration files • 12 days for EMu server to ingest the final migration files • held a final migration “race” between the KE & YPM servers • lost few weeks to Vancouver server hiccups, office move, etc.
