1

When do I have to install the prerequisites by?

We recommend you install the prerequisites as early as possible as they will not impact existing functionality in any way - however, we will be unable to progress your migration until these are all complete

We will be enabling a prompt in your AgencyCloud solution in due course to download the latest version of required drivers - this prompt will only appear if these updates have not yet been done

If your IT Department is undertaking this task for you, please let us know

2

What if our users don’t have admin rights to install the prerequisites?

This update will require admin privileges - if this is not available, please speak to your IT company / department

3

Why is this needed?

The update increases the security posture of our application, as well as prepare you for the upcoming move to AWS

4

When will I move over to AWS?

The migration is dependant on a number of factors based on the complexity of your existing environment and the tools that you currently use - we will be delivering the migrations in tranches

Your Reapit Customer Success Manager (CSM) will be able to give you indicative timescales

5

What impact will this have on updating my website?

If your website is powered by a webservice and is being used in the intended format, there will be no change required as the endpoints and access details will remain the same

Any other upload mechanisms should be unaffected, but contact us if you would like to review

6

Will our portal feeds be affected?

Portal feeds will be stopped during the migration and restarted automatically after the migration time

7

Will we be able to access Reapit Agency Cloud during the migration?

Migration will be during out-of-office hours (between 18.00-05.00 GMT) - during this time, access to both AgencyCloud (desktop) and Reapit Mobile will be unavailable

8

Will all of our existing AgencyCloud functionality be affected?

All approved existing integration/functionality via Agency Cloud will continue to be available - we will be in touch with you separately if updates are needed as part of the AWS move, although any changes will be minimal at this stage

9

Will we have immediate access to Foundations and the App Marketplace?

If you don’t already have access to the App Marketplace, please contact your Reapit Customer Success Manager (CSM) who will discuss with you and agree timescales to deploy this, following your migration

10

Will our login be affected?

Providing users log in via their email address, there will be no change - however, it is now required that all users must have a unique email address

If you need further guidance on this, please get in touch

11

Do we need to make any changes to our proxy servers?

Yes - if you have a proxy server, please carry out the following:

  • Whitelist the following domain: reapit.cloud

  • Ensure the following ports are accessible from your environment:

    • MySQL (Port 43997)

    • HTTPS (Port 443)

12

Do all our users need to have unique email addresses?

Yes, all your users must have unique email addresses before your migration to AWS can take place
