Dear colleagues,
I will still remind you in September to be ready for a rather large change in the TE IT infrastructure, but allow me to inform you now already of this event. I propose that you put already a reminder in your agenda.
On Saturday the 12th of September, TE Belgium will switch to another type of firewall (Palo Alto), de-activating the old firewall. This modern (more intelligent) firewall will allow us to continue in projects as Sesame and other international projects. Some of you will still be contacted by Trasys when certain tunnels need to be changed. If you have specific questions, the single point of contact for this switch is Cymon Birtles (cymon.birtles@trasysgroup.com).
During the 12th of September (works will start in the morning), it is possible that there will be several interruptions to connect towards centralised services.
We don’t expect that messaging and SAP connectivity will be disturbed (as they are hosted by ENGIE), but surely My Portal connectivity will be disturbed during several time intervals.
Also access to servers located in the D10 network of TE Belgium will be disturbed in the morning.
Normally the intervention should end in the morning: we will inform you when the conversion is finished. I propose that you test out at that moment some basic functionalities (especially the access towards My Portal).
I take the occasion to inform you that a new ‘Ask your CEO’ campaign is planned to start in the second half of September. All Tractebel Engineering D10 PC’s worldwide launch during boot-up the My Portal, so I am convinced that everybody will have the opportunity to ask Mr. Develay questions in this very important campaign. It is important that everybody can participate. Please check that My Portal is launched on all D10 PC’s worldwide.
As you know, if you would have questions related to My Portal (TE Portal), you can contact Mrs. Van Dyck (claude.vandyck@gdfsuez.com).
