Re: AMS Outage – My Research Applications & Agreements Upgrade

 

Dear AMS users,

Please be advised that all Administrative Management Systems (AMS) – including AMS GUI, Employee Self-Service/Manager Self-Service, Expense Reimbursement Direct Deposit, Capital Projects and Invoice Workflow – will not be available for users from 5:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 28, 2021.

Additionally, My Research will be offline from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the same date. My Research users will not be able to create new MRAs between from Saturday, August 28 at 5 a.m. to Monday, August 30 at 7 a.m.

This outage will allow for the upgrade to My Research Applications & Agreements (MRA). The MRA Renewal Initiative will see the redevelopment of the MRA system in the latest SAP technology (SAPUI5). These changes will better support the U of T’s research and innovation community by bringing a more modern look and user-friendly experience to the process of submitting research funding applications.

See our System Availability page for more details.

For more information on the MRA Renewal Initiative, including the upcoming launch date, please visit the MRA Renewal Initiative webpage.

Sincerely,
Enterprise Applications & Solutions Integration (EASI)
