The objective of the '''System Upgrade Process''' is to ensure that customers have a chance to review, without compromising the integrity of their production system, how their applications and information will work following the upgrade. In order to take advantage of this you will need to know how to access your backup instance of SmartSimple. If you need assistance with this either refer to the [[Backup Server and Testing Instances]] Wiki article, or contact the [[SmartSimple]] support desk.

* Introduced [[integration]] with GuideStar service and ability to search their database.
  
* Each [[Backup Server and Testing Instances|backup server]] will be updated to the "release candidate" one week prior to the upgrade date.
 
* This update will provide for instance specific testing of release candidate, as you can log into your respective [[Backup Server and Testing Instances|backup server]] and test the the changes against your most current data and configuration.
 
* Internal staff will also be using these servers to perform instance specific testing.
 
  
===Update Go/No-Go===
 
* Subject to satisfactory testing on both the pre-production server and the production backup servers, the go/no go decision will be made on Wednesday at 12:00pm.
