SAMIS will be unavailable, Wednesday and Thursday 13 and 14 July 2016, while we upgrade to version 9.1. This is a significant upgrade and, as recommended by our software supplier, we have set aside two days to complete the work. In addition, SAMIS on the web will be unavailable for an extra day (Wednesday to Friday, 13 to 15 July).
We need time to backup the databases and complete underlying work on the servers and databases before the upgrades commence. For this reason, we would ask users to stop using SAMIS by 6pm on 12 July.
