Learning Central Scheduled Downtime, Sept. 14–18
The vendor for Learning Central will be performing a migration of our production environment servers and an upgrade to the system starting Thursday, Sept. 14 at 10 p.m. and ending Monday, Sept. 18 at 10 p.m. Please make sure that all team members working from Thursday, Sept. 14 through Monday, Sept. 18 are aware of this downtime.

The downtime timeframe is significant, however, it is necessary to ensure the successful deployment of the environment to upgraded servers and the lasted version of the software. Upon completion of the migration, the system will be more closely aligned with the vendor, SAP’s hyper-scaler platform, which will provide faster access to learning innovations and improved resiliency with a state-of-the-art foundation.
