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.
Plan
Choose your path, learn what changes, back up your database, and run the pre-upgrade checks so your data is clean and ready.
Stage & Test
Validate every area of iMIS on a test site, move your payment gateway, replace customizations, and line up integrations.
Go Live
Sign the readiness checklist, schedule the live date with ASI, brief your vendors, and capture what must be rebuilt by hand.
Post-Upgrade
Set up your gateway in the live site, reconnect applications, import your tested objects and queries, and confirm everything works.
A practical guide, not a sales brochure
- Step-by-step instructions for all four phases, in the right order
