How was the work done?

Design, programming and documentation began in earnest in November 2001. A central group of developers associated with the project produced programming interfaces (APIs) and applications. Developers across UF met every other Friday in Frazier Rogers Hall. Literally thousands of software programs were changed to accommodate the change to UFIDs. Units across UF are modifying local processes, forms, software and databases to eliminate the unnecessary use of SSN and substitute UFID as appropriate.
