Summary: SHARP SCI Hosting - System access and changes to website address for SHARP and Employee Self-Service Log-In

As discussed in Informational Circular 15-P-029, the transition for SHARP to the Sierra-Cedar (SCI) Hosting site will begin Friday night, April 3, 2015.  Agencies should have access restored to SHARP and Employee Self-service (ESS) beginning 7 AM Tuesday morning, April 7, 2015. 

This change to the SCI Hosting will require a new URL to be used for logging into the production environments.  The new URLs are listed below.   Agency HR/Payroll staff, who have not previously tested the new links, should test the URL’s now to ensure agency staff are able to reach the sign-in page.  DO NOT try to sign in (prior to Tuesday, April 7, 2015) because the links are not active yet.

If the standard SHARP sign-in and ESS sign-in pages do not appear when testing the URLs, contact your agency IT staff to ensure the URL/IP is available from your agency network.  Agency HR/Payroll staff should also communicate the new URLs to all employees.  In addition, new ‘Favorites’ will need to be established with the new URL’s as the old ones will not work after the cutover to SCI Hosting.
