3 Introduction The purpose of this Technical Roadmap is to provide customers with a detailed overview of any software infrastructure they might need to deploy in order to run the SIMS Product suite. It has been developed in response to and in line with customer feedback to enable Local Authorities, Schools and Academies to effectively plan their future support of SIMS over a two year period. In the fast moving world of IT and in the current economic climate, it can be difficult to accurately look into the future and this is therefore a working document. It is subject to change based on feedback from our customers and on the support level offered by other companies for their software. It will be updated alongside the SIMS Functionality Roadmap to provide customers with the latest information in a constantly changing environment. Where possible Capita support is inline with Microsoft support dates. 2013/2014 support dates are indicative only and subject to change. I hope you find it useful. If you have any feedback please let me have this by to jonathan.wood@capita.co.uk.we would particularly value any comments you have on the end of support dates in particular. Jonathan Wood Technical Product Manager Headline News Support Dates Due to the extensive feedback we have received on the SIMS Technical Roadmap we have decided to extend our support dates to give you more time to migrate to the latest Microsoft platforms. SOLUS2 support has been extended 2 releases to include Spring Windows Server 2003 support has been extended 1 release to include Summer Support for Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 commences from Spring SQL2012 support for SIMS & FMS commenced from Autumn SQL2012 support for Discover, SOLUS3 and InTouch will commence from Summer A migration utility will be provided alongside the Summer 2013 release to assist migrating to SQL2012. Service Pack Support When a new Microsoft Service Pack is released we will aim to provide support for that Service Pack in the next SIMS release dependent on its availability within our release cycle. Support for the previous Service Pack will be withdrawn within 12 months. For a further update of currently supported Service Packs, please see SIMS System Requirements Document under Sticky Items on SupportNet SLG Support Headlines SLG Support for Windows 2012 Server will be from the Summer 2013 release as it requires IIS8 support. SLG Support for SQL 2012 on the ADPS client and Application Tier databases will commence from Summer SLG Support for SharePoint 2013 is scheduled for the Autumn 2013 release. SLG Browser Support We aim to support the latest version of a browser at the time of testing. This can be a challenge as some browsers such as Firefox have moved from version 4 to 15 in the last 12 months. SIMS Technical Roadmap 2013 P a g e 3 Version 2.0 January 2013
