PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
The Preventive Maintenance functionality was deployed on Monday, 17 October. The Umoja Services Delivery team, together with representatives from UNHQ FMS, UNOG, ECA, ECLAC and ESCWA, successfully completed the pilot project and created the preventive maintenance programme for targeted FMS equipment. The programme is created based on the manufacturer’s recommendations, best practices and safety laws, and marks the first time in the United Nation's history that stakeholders have an opportunity to comprehensively track maintenance activities by using a software environment, updated in real time.

THE FIELD GETS READY FOR UMOJA
The Umoja countdown clock is winding down towards the day when National Staff and Individual Uniformed Personnel start using Umoja for HR processes. As we near 1 November, both USG/DFS Mr. Atul Khare and USG/DM Mr. Yukio Takasu joined all Missions, via VTC, to acknowledge the enormous volume of work accomplished by the Missions in preparation for the transition to Umoja. Mr. Takasu recognised it was a rare privilege to personally thank so many colleagues in the field for their remarkable work. Mr. Khare thanked all the Missions for their outstanding dedication and emphasized that “deployment and stabilisation plans are well underway to ensure that the necessary support is available”.
The spirit of unity, hard work and collaboration is very much alive as colleagues in the field prepare for the upcoming deployment. To partake in the Go-Live activities, all staff are invited to attend the C5 Kick-off event on Tuesday 1 November from 8:00 am to 8:40 am (New York time) in Conference Room 2. Read more here.
