Michigan Rehabilitation Services - Lansing

We completed the What’s New with AWARE Version 5 training today with the Michigan Rehabilitation Services (MRS). Attendees included staff and managers from the AWARE Support Unit, MRS field offices, Michigan Career Technical Institute (MCTI), and the Department of Information Technology (DIT). The staff represented three teams (Adaptation, Testing, and User Education).

When asked what they liked best about v5, attendees sited the navigation, custom layouts, and the ability to have more than one case open at one time. In addition to hands-on training, each team met to discuss their strategy for transitioning from v4 to v5. The agency is considering a quick implementation by training staff on “just the basics” so they can use the new version as they do today. Then local tech rep trainers would continue to instruct staff on new features, the AWARE Support Unit would incrementally activate new capabilities, and DIT development staff would convert reports from v4 to v5. After the in-depth hands on training the teams have lots to talk about!

Alliance staff enjoyed seeing everyone from Michigan again and gathering many enhancement ideas. The MRS attendees even found a couple obscure errors!

Thank you Michigan staff for the warm welcome and enthusiasm for the new version.

Lansing Facts

Lansing is the capital city of the U.S. state of Michigan, and the state's sixth largest city. It is located mostly in Ingham County, although small portion of the city extend into Clinton County and Eaton County. As of the 2000 census, it has a population of 119,128, an Urbanized Area (UA) population of 300,032, and, as of July 1, 2006, a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) population of 454,044. The even larger Combined Statistical Area (CSA) population, which includes Shiawassee County, is estimated at 526,956.

The Lansing metropolitan area, colloquially referred to as "Mid-Michigan," is an important center for educational, cultural, governmental, business, and high-tech manufacturing institutions, including three medical schools (two human medicine and one veterinary), two nursing schools, two law schools, a Big Ten Conference university (Michigan State), the state capitol, the state Supreme Court, an appellate court, a federal court, the Library of Michigan and Historical Center, and headquarters of four national insurance companies.
