A clear, phase-by-phase guide to planning, testing, and going live with iMIS EMS, the cloud edition of iMIS. Built to help your team move from iMIS 2017 with confidence.

  • All four upgrade phases, broken down step by step
  • A working checklist for every phase
  • Where teams get stuck, and how to avoid it
What the guide covers

Your upgrade, in four clear phases

Most of the risk in an iMIS upgrade comes from data and customizations that were never cleaned up. The playbook organizes the official iMIS upgrade process so your team knows exactly what to do, and in what order.

1

Plan

Choose your path, learn what changes, back up your database, and run the pre-upgrade checks so your data is clean and ready.

2

Stage & Test

Validate every area of iMIS on a test site, move your payment gateway, replace customizations, and line up integrations.

3

Go Live

Sign the readiness checklist, schedule the live date with ASI, brief your vendors, and capture what must be rebuilt by hand.

4

Post-Upgrade

Set up your gateway in the live site, reconnect applications, import your tested objects and queries, and confirm everything works.

What you get

A practical guide for your upgrade path

  • Step-by-step instructions for all four phases
