For users of the AMA, BPAS, CBS, and FNTS budget systems.
The SWIFT, Self Service and Administrative Portal upgrade begins on Wednesday, November 27 at 4:30 PM and continues through Sunday, December 1. During this time, the Budget Systems will be unavailable. All statewide systems will be back on line no later than Monday, December 2. Please plan ahead.
As part of the Administrative Portal upgrade, the portal URL will be replaced with a “vanity” URL. A “vanity” URL is a shorter URL that is more descriptive and automatically redirects a user to the application. Don’t wait until after the upgrade to update your browser Favorites. You can replace the current URL with the new Administrative Portal vanity URL now: http://mn.gov/adminportal.
To further assist our effort, please inventory your agency documents, web pages and communications. Identify where URL changes are needed. Then, coordinate with your IT and communications staff to make these changes. See the SWIFT, Self Service, and Administrative Portal Upgrade website for additional information.
Questions? Contact swift.project@state.mn.us.
The upgrade will not change how users log in to the budget systems. The steps are the same. The look and “feel” of the Administrative Portal will change. A video guide to the new Portal’s features can be viewed here. Continue reading here for instructions and pictures tailored to budget systems users.
