On 1 April 2012 IEEE will release the new IEEE Business Platform, which includes changes to individual account profile management. The two most important items are:
1. IEEE Account (personal account) user name change: After the launch, individuals signing in with an IEEE Account user name (the personal account user name which is used to set individual preferences) will be prompted to change their current user name to their e-mail address.
2. Saved Searches and Search History will be deleted: All current saved searches and search history records will be DELETED with this release. All users should copy and paste their saved searches into a document so they can recreate the search after launch.
