> Since the last update issued on the 14 November 2006 we are pleased  
> to advise that we have made significant progress on the extensive  
> parallel test runs to compare FCPS and Destin8 output. We have yet  
> to conclude these tests so we are not yet in a position to confirm  
> the actual cutover date but are confident that the date is within a  
> six to ten week window as of today’s date.
>
>
>
> Once we have completed the parallel testing and the rescheduling  
> plan, a cutover date will be communicated to all stakeholders  
> through e-mail, LUM and other communications media. The new date  
> will be announced a minimum of two weeks before the actual cutover,  
> which will still take place over a weekend in order to minimise any  
> interruption to your business operation.
>
>
>
> Meanwhile please be advised that a further upload of live  
> operational data – a snapshot of FCPS taken on the 5 January 2007 -  
> is now available on Destin8 and while we appreciate that the  
> cutover is still some weeks away, it continues to be of concern to  
> us that some 20% of our corporate customers have yet to take  
> advantage of previous opportunities to establish connectivity to  
> Destin8.
>

>
> Why a test access? Our primary aim is to ensure that all of our  
> customers’ interfaces are compatible with Destin8 and that  
> everybody establishes a connection prior to implementation.  
> Secondary to that, we want to give everybody the opportunity to  
> preview the new system in order to familiarise themselves with what  
> will be a fundamental change in the way you navigate around the  
> port community system while retaining the same essential and  
> functional transactions you have become accustomed to in FCPS.

> You have hopefully noticed that previous communications in this  
> respect have provided you with direct access to the Destin8 UAT  
> (test) environment while strongly advocating that all network  
> routing configurations should take into account that the Destin8  
> Production (live) environment resides on a different website To  
> that end we have now configured this address to allow interim  
> access direct to the Destin8 test environment and we urge all  
> companies – not only those who have yet to connect – to test and  
> ensure that they can indeed connect to www.destin8.co.uk which now  
> effectively replicates a live production connection to Destin8. The  
> previously used link to the Destin8 UAT environment has been made  
> temporarily unavailable for external log-on.

>
> Your company’s existing FCPS log on credentials have been copied  
> over to Destin8 as has operational data from the FCPS production  
> system and you will therefore be able to carry out functions on  
> Destin8 against ‘real-time’ data with which you are familiar.

> For further information on how to establish a connection to Destin8  
> please see the Connection Information and Technical Requirements  
> leaflet sent to all customers previously. If you have mislaid the  
> leaflet, a copy can be obtained from our FCPS website www.fcps.co.uk
