Verifying

We are pleased to announce that the Document Management (Perceptive Content) upgrade has been completed ahead of schedule. All functionality is now available for use; however, users are temporarily unable to log in to the web client.

The vendor is aware of the issue and will restore web client access as soon as possible on Monday morning, May 18. In the interim, all users can continue to log in to Perceptive Content using the desktop client. Normally scheduled workflows that were paused during the maintenance window have resumed and should now be caught up.

An update will be posted to status.pitt.edu once access to the web client has been restored. Thank you for your partnership in this important maintenance. Please submit a ticket to the Technology Help Desk or call +1-412-624-HELP (4357) if you have questions related to this upgrade.
