Good morning, All -
We had a GO/NO GO Decision Call with all of the agency decision makers at 9:45 AM this morning, and I am delighted to report that we reached a unanimous GO decision from our agency partners!
With this in mind, we will now complete the final steps in fully migrating the ADOA Mainframe over to the multi-tenant zCloud environment in Boulder, Colorado, with a DR presence in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Thank you to all the many people who contributed to bringing this successful day to fruition. It was truly a magnificent collaborative effort!
This will be the final posting for this morning, but a final email will be distributed to the project team containing all the pertinent information required going forward, including the number of the Conference Bridge that IBM will be opening as of 3:00 PM this afternoon, MST.
Good morning -
The time is 9:02 AM, and at the present time, we have had reports of completed successful testing from the following agencies:
DES, DPS, DOC, ASU (one issue with check writing remains, which is being looked at by the ASU network technician), and AHCCCS.
ADOT is waiting to hear on AMVA testing. One issue for DOR was just resolved, and production jobs are now running at DOR, so they are close to completing.
We are now looking ahead to the Final GO/NO GO Decision Call this morning at 9:45 AM.
The next update will be posted immediately after this call to notify everyone of the final GO/NO GO decision!
Good morning -
At this hour, all agencies are busy with the user verification testing window, which will continue until 9:45 AM, when we will be making our final GO/NO GO decision call.
The IBM Operations team is resolving agency issues discovered in testing as they arise, and so far all is going well.
DES has already reported that their testing is done successfully, and has already provided their "GO" decision, but DES will be on the 9:45 AM call, as well, to make it official!
The next update will be posted at 9:00 AM.
Good morning -
Apologies for the lateness of this report - there has been a flurry of activity with the LPARs in the past hour!
So far, AHCCCS, DOR, DOC, ASU, DPS and ADOT have been given the go to start testing, all between 6:50 AM and 7:10 AM.
We are still awaiting word from DES.
The next update will be posted at 8:00 AM.
Good morning -
The time now is 6:00 AM.

We are currently, approximately 10 minutes ahead of schedule.
Agency representatives from AHCCCS and ADOT have arrived at the State Data Center.
We are currently still looking to begin the agency user verification window on schedule at 6:30 AM.
The next update will be posted at 7:00 AM.

Good morning, All -
The time is now 3:52 AM on Sunday, January 21, 2018.
At exactly 4:00 AM, we will officially begin our scheduled outage for the Final Cutover of the ADOA Mainframe to the multi-tenant zCloud environment in Boulder, Colorado.
The LPARs will begin to be brought down from Phoenix, conceivably for the final time, and brought back up in Boulder, with a user verification testing period that is scheduled to run from 6:30 AM until 9:45 AM.
At 9:45 AM, we will have a conference call with all of the agency stakeholders (decision makers) to obtain a FINAL GO/NO GO DECISION. If we are a "GO," the data will continue its final replication to Boulder and the mainframe system will remain in Boulder from this time forward. It will, essentially, be "business as usual" from Boulder from this point.
We are all excited for a successful Final Cutover this morning, and congratulate the many ADOA-ASET, IBM and State Agency Representatives, whose incredible collaboration and partnership were the catalyst that drove this project to this point.
The next posting will occur at 5:00 AM this morning.
Good morning,
At this time, the User Testing window for Dry Run #2 has expired, and the IBM team is working to bring the Phoenix system back up by no later than 1:00 PM this afternoon.
The Boulder system should also be back up and ready for user testing, utilizing test IP addresses, by 5:30 PM this afternoon.
We will have a follow up discussion on the events of this Dry Run during our Daily Agency User Testing Touch Point Call at 10:30 AM tomorrow.
Thank you to all of our agency partners who worked with us this morning on Dry Run #2.
This will be the last posting for this event.
