The Environmental Health & Safety Info Portal (aka FileMaker system, aka Waste, Rad, and Inspections Portal) relies upon an older version of FileMaker Pro on expiring servers. Since its creation, the system has been expanded considerably and offers opportunities to redesign it for more efficiency. New features are now available that will increase the usability, security, and sustainability of the system.
The detailed list of requirements is available to EHS personnel and upon request.
There are two phases to the Portal Upgrade Project.
Migration of all current features, functions, and data to new servers and to new version FileMaker 19.
