Brower Upgrade Project at ERCOTBrower Upgrade Project at ERCOTERCOT Application Browser Support
◦ ERCOT intends to support IE 8 into 2016. The market will be given adequate time to migrate to a newer browser before ERCOT discontinues IE8 support.
◦ ERCOT is testing IE 10 and 11 in both native and compatibility mode to determine what needs to be fixed in the ERCOT applications. That work will continue through Q1.
◦ The mitigation projects and change requests resulting from the testing will be submitted through the normal ERCOT project process in Q2, to be prioritized and delivered through the normal ERCOT release process. The release schedule for those projects will determine when the applications are fully supported on the newer browsers.
◦ There are no current plans to expand the number of browsers supported by the ERCOT applications beyond IE 10 and 11.
◦ RMS requests that ERCOT provide a Project Plan to the Market.
