Last week, the eComm team was focused on validating bio/demo data (first name, last name, email address, street address, phone and basic affiliation). We cross referenced data in Salesforce with data in Harris or Advance and results were presented to our data team (UIS, ACF and CoE) on Thursday, Aug 20. We will continue data validation this week with the review of education (student), employment (faculty/staff), interest (alumni) and giving (donors) information. Results will be shared on Thursday of this week. Once issues are resolved, ALL DATA (1.2 million records) will be reloaded to the Stage environment, which should take a few weeks. The eComm team will validate again in Stage, present findings and issues (if any) will be resolved.

Between the extensive amount of time that it took to load the data initially and now that we are doing a refresh, the schedule is compromised by about a month. Because of this, we will not be able to conduct training in mid-October. Instead, it looks like November or early December is more realistic.

eComm phase 2.0 is officially kicking off on Monday, August 31. The eComm team has worked very hard on writing user stories and we had our final working session with the CoE on Friday.
