Dear Colleagues:

Due to the approximately 8000 role mapping changes submitted in the last week, and knowing how critical it is to get the training schedule as right as possible, we have decided to delay the publication of the training schedule for one week in order to provide users a validation check of the recently-inputted role changes.

We know how eager our user community is to begin training and we will lose a few days, but the benefits to this validation check far outweigh the lost time. If we sent out the training schedule without this critical check, some employees might get wrong training information, which would only confuse and cause further problems.

We appreciate your continued support and patience and we all look forward to beginning training the week of Sept. 25.

Regards,

James McGill
