FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Nov 16, 2009

Dear National Service Colleagues:

I am pleased to report that, over this past weekend, we successfully transitioned the eSPAN, eGrants and AmeriCorps Portal to our new Managed Data Center Services contractor almost two weeks ahead of schedule! The systems are up and running and the change will have no effect on their functionality. This migration will improve overall system stability by removing the environmental issues (such as electricity) that have made these applications unavailable from time to time.

I appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue the necessary process of enhancing and strengthening our technology.

Thank you.

In Service,

Nicola Goren
Acting CEO
Corporation for National and Community Service
