We will continue to support RAMP IRB throughout July and the months ahead. In addition, this month we will begin the implementation process for phase I of the Agreements module, which includes non-financial agreements and subcontracts. Meetings will be held with project team members to view demonstrations of the system, make comparisons of system functionality and current business processes and establish system requirements. This module is scheduled to be deployed in October 2019.
