Website Upgrade 2008

On Friday, December 5, the Radiology website migrates to a new version of Plone.

The updated site offers a fresh, crisp look, improved performance and usability, and exciting new features!

Join the Web Services team at one of two open house events for a comprehensive tour of the site, information about upcoming training events, and the chance to ask questions, provide feedback, and enjoy a light snack.

In the meantime, below is a sneak-peak at the new site and information about the impact of Friday's migration.

 

Service Interruption

  • The website will be closed to editing and new content on Friday, December 5. It will run read-only while the database is migrated to the new version of Plone.
