{{Upgrade Schedule}}
We regularly update the list of upgrade features and schedule for both the backup and production servers environments on this Wiki page.
This page will provide a general overview of each upgrade, with links to the Wiki articles describing the new or updated features and how to use them. You can also [http://smart.smartsimple.com/s_signup.jsp?token=XVtQC1oGYF9bRxdFQhdQ subscribe] to the [[:Category:Newsletter Archives|Technical Journal]] that is sent out prior to each upgrade on the [http://smart.smartsimple.com/s_signup.jsp?token=XVtQC1oGYF9bRxdFQhdQ Newsletter Signup Page]. (Unsubscribe [http://smart.smartsimple.com/s_signup.jsp?token=XVtQC1oGYF9bQxNFQhdQ here]).
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.
For clients on a Dedicated ServerPrivate Cloud enviornment, please review the [[SmartSimple Upgrade Process – Dedicated Server]] page.
