Systems Integration Week of April 11

The Aspirus site migration project is approximately 34% complete.

We will continue to accomplish this project, site by site, in phased events over the next several months.

Each one of these events will require coordination on many fronts with necessary downtime communicated directly by location as it is impacted. In most cases the work will be done at night or during off hours to minimize the impact on each location as much as possible.

Here is a list of the migration events for the week of April 11th – April 15th:

Tuesday, April 12:

Howard Young Medical Center (Network and Wi-Fi Migration Event)
Aspirus Tomahawk Hospital (Telephone Migration Event---NURSE CALL MIGRATION ONLY, Cisco Phone Migration to be rescheduled)

Wednesday, April 13

Aspirus Owen, Aspirus Thorp and Aspirus Stanley Hospital (Group 1 Workstation Migrations)

Updated Site Migration Event Schedule

All employees are reminded that they will need to continue to Login to workstations and access applications in the same manner after the network migration. The network migration will not impact how you access applications.

Workstations will be migrated in groups based on department/floor/etc., and while each group is being migrated those machines will not be available for use for approximately 60 minutes. Once a workstation is migrated, users will need to log into the computer and make sure that they can access their data and applications and identify if anything needs further remediation.

Once a device has been migrated, users will no longer log in to their devices using their Ascension credentials; instead, users will utilize their Aspirus credentials at the time of login. At this time, Aspirus IT will officially take over management and support of end user workstations.

Downtime procedures should be followed by all departments during the network outage period. Please refer any questions concerning downtime procedures to the appropriate operational leadership.

Field Services support personnel will be on site at the conclusion of the network outage period to assist with the remediation of any issues that might arise. If you experience any network issues on the day after the outage, please contact an onsite field services support person prior to calling the Aspirus Service Desk. This is the fastest way to get your issue resolved.
