Important Notice: Pause BCP Planning in Kuali Ready Tool
We are thrilled to announce that a new and improved Business Continuity and Resilience (BC&R) tool will be launching in April 2024.
In preparation for this exciting transition, we kindly request that you refrain from further Business Continuity Planning (BCP) activities in our current Kuali Ready tool. Rest assured, all users will still have access to view their existing plans.
To optimize your BCP process, units will have the opportunity to update current plans while integrating them into the new tool. Please note units are responsible for migrating any BCP information into the new BC&R tool.
We understand the importance of your planning efforts, and we are dedicated to offering you guidance and support throughout this transition. In anticipation of this exciting release, unit-specific facilitated training will begin to be scheduled in May. We will be in touch with further details and instructions to ensure a smooth transition and optional application of this invaluable resource.
If you are ready to get started, be one of the first to lock in your training dates! Please fill out this short survey, and a member of our team will follow up in the coming weeks.
Your cooperation and patience are greatly appreciated as we strive to enhance your BCP experience. Should you have any immediate questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to our support team at ready@uic.edu.
Thank you for your ongoing trust and partnership. Stay tuned and be ready!
