Accomplishments since last report:
- Received version 3.8.4 software from ClearCommerce. Installed it
on a test server and created a test store. ClearCommerce was due to
release version 4.x on February 28. When we receive the new version,
we will upgrade the test server. If 4.x appears stable, we will
install it on the real server.
- First Data continued to work on the order for the leased line.
They have not yet given us an installation date.
-Continued support to Sloan for building their Sloan Alumni Reunions
site using ShopSite and CyberCash. The site is expected to launch
in March.
- Drafted preliminary documentation on the various products.
- Continued to work through the various support and service
considerations and issues.
- Met with ITAG
Goals for March:
- Test ClearCommerce software to better understand support and
service requirements and fine-tune service level and resource
estimates for production
- Receive ClearCommerce 4.x software and upgrade test server. Test it.
- Install 4..x on real server when it arrives.
- Get installation date for leased line and prepare for its arrival.
- Set tentative date for ClearCommerce to come and help with the full
installation, a major portion of which includes testing the leased
line and training.
