Phase 2

Migration

This is where we get it done! In this stage, we’ll guide you through what we need from you, including how to backup your database and complete thorough testing to get you up and running on the cloud.

Final Data Migration

Navigating your new environment

This migration involves exciting changes for you and your team. Once Avanti brings your database into the cloud you’ll receive:

A New Environment

Created and branded to the specifications of your pre-work form submission (including new ASSP and Career Connector URLs and SSO as applicable).

A Remote Desktop Link

All Class A users will have accounts created (don’t worry, we won't send emails at this time). Email enrollment instructions will be sent to team members you’ve indicated as testers.

An Upgrade to Clock Connect

Clocks will be upgraded as specified in your order form to ensure compatibility with our web-based clock service: Clock Connect (this may require placing an order for new uFace clocks).
