Welcome to Last Friday, a Kuali Ready Admin Newsletter. The newsletter will keep you informed of product updates and community news and events.
Community News
We are getting a lot of positive response about the new Ready Camp track at Kuali Days and registration is picking up. This is a great chance to meet colleagues, share experiences, learn about Ready and impact the future direction of the product. Please check out the Events section below for more information.
Product Updates
The Migration Tool has been added to Ready 2015 for those who’ve requested it. If you have not yet requested access to Ready 2015, please contact ready-help@kuali.co and request access to your account. Canadian institutions interested in migrating to Ready 2015 (US hosted) are encouraged to do so. We’ll work with the University of Toronto to migrate your content.
Admin Tips
If you are currently using US hosted Ready 4.0.13, you will need to migrate to Ready 2015. We do not have a cut-off date for migration, but will encourage everyone to move as soon as possible, as we will no longer be updating the old version. Please review these migration resources to help you prepare and make decisions that work for your users.

It’s a lot of content, but we want you to have as much information as possible before you get started. The process is incredibly simple. Check out this video. If you have questions, please feel free to contact ready-help@kuali.co.
If you struggle to get buy-in for completing plans, we’re working to create support resources to help you build a case for preparedness. We released a blog post this week about 5 bad excuses for weak continuity planning. You can also download a PDF version from the Help Portal to share with colleagues.
Works in Progress
We’re exploring options to improve the Activity log functionality in Ready before we add it to Ready 2015. If you have suggestions or feedback on improvements, we’d love to hear from you. We’d like to make it easy for you to view and download the data, but we could also integrate technology that would provide versioning capabilities on plans.
