WebFOCUS-Argos Consolidation

What is it?

The University currently uses WebFocus and Argos to do the same thing.

Why are we doing it?

A single reporting platform will reduce cost, standardize and simplify the user experience, and eliminate the need for having report developers for multiple reporting platforms.

Additionally, UNCG will benefit from…

• more timely report development
• increased quality and speed of report access
• clearer process for requesting development of new reports
• a more efficient and functional cloud platform

How will I be impacted?

We expect this change to be disruptive for those who use these platforms. It will require some time for users to review current reports and ensure their accuracy. Training on the newly upgraded environment will be provided.

When will this be implemented?

WebFOCUS Cloud was implemented in Spring 2023, and Argos will be migrated to WebFOCUS Cloud by Friday, November 29, 2024.

In September 2024, all Academic Administration Argos reports will be available in WebFOCUS (in the Student Portal). Individual Department reports, such as Athletics or URO, will be available by Friday, November 29, 2024.

What do I need to do?

If you are a current WebFOCUS user, get acquainted with the new cloud platform.

If you are an Argos user, participate in one of the seven “WebFOCUS Cloud Office Hours for Argos Users” sessions available for registration at workshops.uncg.edu.
