This weekend Business Objects will be upgraded from version 3.1 to 4.1 for report creation and run/refresh of reports. The Development Office is the first department on campus to migrate to the new environment.
We are moving to the newest version of Business Objects because the currently installed V3.1 has reached the end of its life-cycle and will no longer be supported after 2015. V4.1 offers many new enhancements that will make reporting easier and offer more robust functionality.
On Sunday, September 20 at 12:00 PM, the current Business Objects will no longer be available to create reports. The current Business Objects will be available only to run/refresh reports in V3.1. All scheduled reports will continue to run as expected. OIT will begin the migration to the V4.1 environment, and it is expected to be completed the evening of Sunday, September 20.
Effective Monday, September 21 at 8:00 AM, the new Business Objects V4.1 environment will be available and ready for your use to create reports and run/refresh reports. All references to Business Objects in Advance, ur.nd.edu, and inside.nd.edu will be updated with the new V4.1 link.
During the week of September 21, we will be hosting a number of post-launch training sessions to demonstrate how to run/refresh reports and allow for additional questions. Please watch the UR professional development calendars for specific dates and times.
Business Objects V3.1 will be available in read-only mode to run/refresh reports until training sessions are completed by 9/30/2015.
If you have questions about this upgrade, please contact Elizabeth Hasse at ehasse@nd.edu or ext 1-9607.
Should you have any issues after the upgrade, please contact our department IT support staff, or the OIT Help Desk at 574-631-8111, oithelp@nd.eduor chat online at https://help.nd.edu.

Best,
It is with great pleasure that I announce that Patrick Borders has joined the Operations & Technology team in Annual Giving & Strategic Marketing as Marketing Specialist. Patrick recently graduated from Wake Forest University’s School of Business with an MBA in Marketing & Entrepreneurship. He served as marketing intern in the Wake Forest athletic department while attending school, with responsibility for pre-game marketing activities, operations for in-game promotions and evaluation of the impact of football ticket pricing changes. In addition, Patrick worked as a Social Media Strategist for Crippen Auto Mall in Lansing, MI.
As Marketing Specialist, Patrick supports the execution of all cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship communications by fund and segment leaders in the Annual Giving & Strategic Marketing team. His responsibilities include creating targeted messaging across all AGSM segments and communication channels (mail, email, phone, social, web), with the overall goal of fundraising, increasing total donor count, and brand awareness. In addition, he manages all aspects of the Proud to Be ND social presence, including strategy and execution.
Please join me in welcoming Patrick to the University Relations team.

Our very own Ernestine Gardner is leaving on a jet plane out to sunny California to tape an appearance on JEOPARDY!!! If you didn’t know already….she is brilliant, and now we have the proof. Ernestine has quietly endured online applications and testing to ultimately be invited to the final contestant screening held in Kansas City in late June of this year. Not surprisingly, she advanced in that final test to be selected for the contestant pool for the next 17 months. Getting this far in the process is such an accomplishment, she is already a Champion in our minds.
Ernestine, along with her husband Dave will be traveling to Los Angeles next week for the JEOPARDY taping which should air the week of October 5th. We will be planning a ‘JEOPARDY’ watch when the episode is airs.
Good Luck Ernestine!
Sincerely,
Team CFR
