Getting Help
What Is a Migration?
“Migration” is the term we use to describe moving a customer from a “Classic” version of Website Pipeline or CIMcloud to the latest version of the CIMcloud platform. A Migration involves deploying a new CIMcloud platform (with your add-on features / bundles enabled), installing a second instance of the ERP sync tool, copying data and images / files from your existing classic platform to the new platform, and then supporting you as you complete self-service implementation and go live steps. After go-live, your classic platform is shut down / removed and the classic instance of your ERP sync tool is uninstalled (if applicable).
