Migration Overview

Change is hard. We know that. Here's exactly what's happening, when, and what you need to do — so there are no surprises.

What's not changing

→A completely rebuilt web application — replacing the legacy .NET desktop app
→A new agency onboarding sequence: IT Admin configures first, then User Admin enables your team
→Individual user onboarding: each person completes a guided setup to configure their preferences
→Eight new features: map search, curated subscriptions, bulletin layouts, and more

The transition runs in six phases. Cutover Day is July 1, 2026.

1
Soft Launch — NextGen is live and running alongside legacy. Explore when you're ready — no pressure, no deadline.
2
Agency Training Period — Training resources are open. IT Admin completes technical configuration; User Admin sets up your team.
3
Validation Window — Both systems run side-by-side. Confirm your bulletins and settings migrated correctly.
4
Cutover Day — July 1, 2026 — NextGen becomes primary. Legacy switches to read-only.
5
60-Day Legacy Access — Legacy stays accessible in read-only mode through August 29, 2026.
6
Legacy Sunset — Legacy access ends. Everything you need is in NextGen.

✓No data loss. Bulletins, fields, narratives, and photos are preserved.
✓60 days of read-only legacy access after Cutover Day — nothing disappears overnight.
