KHIS 2.0 now live at Knowledge House.
On Thursday 5th November KHIS 2.0 went live at Knowledge House and replaced the KHIS 1.5. system.
A training manual has been drafted and once content feedback has been given by the KHIS Champions it will be printed and issued to each site alongside a Training Champions session. Each site has nominated 1-2 ‘training champions’ who will be trained in a 2 hour session with KHIS developers Rachel Armstrong and Paul Cranner. It is then expected that these champions can be the initial point of contact at each site for any KHIS 2.0 user enquiries.
In the interim, users have been giving general feedback to Rachel and Paul to iron out any initial teething problems. The major go-live issue was that of speed – users were highlighting that the system was initially running too slowly to be useable. Therefore it was decided that any data in the database which is marked as ‘project closed’ with a creation date of over 24months would be archived and a ‘search the archive’ functionality be updated to all searches. The database has also be transferred to a more powerful server and feedback has been positive, with users commenting on increased speed.
Knowledge House will update on progress and KHIS development after the Training Champions session.
