Capita SIMS Technical Roadmap Windows Server 2008 Support - End of Life Capita Children’s Services Technical Roadmap states that Capita will no longer support SIMS servers running all versions of Windows Server 2008 after the SIMS Autumn 2019 release. Your school’s SIMS server is running Windows 2008. You must upgrade your server before the SIMS Spring release of 2020 to remain supported by Capita and EIS. What are the options for your school?
Other considerations
What should schools do now? EIS strongly recommends that schools consider the options listed above and plan to replace the existing solution before the SIMS Spring release of 2020. Failure to do so could mean loss of access to SIMS and no subsequent support from Capita or EIS. Please contact the EIS Service Desk to advise how you would like to proceed. If you would like a replacement server installation over the summer of 2019 we recommend making contact as soon as possible to book the dates you would like. |
