A large number of users have now been migrated to the upgraded Portal. The remaining users are scheduled to be migrated in September. You will need to access the new Portal from 11 September 2017.
From 11 September, CCMS, CWA, CCLF, EMI and eForms will only be accessible via the upgraded portal.
We will contact users directly with more information on how to access the upgrade ahead of the roll-out.
As we told you in April, the upgrade will require an IT outage to the Portal and all the applications accessed through it. This will be done during an off-peak period in order to cause minimal disruption.
Once the work has been finalised you should see the following improvements:
- increased stability
- quicker log-in times
- more user-friendly password reset process
- status bar for all applications, providing up-to-date information on any issues affecting performance
