Communicating upgrade plans
(Topic number: 9924)
Upgrading a site to IMPAX 6.5.3 from IMPAX 5.3 or earlier is a big undertaking. Ensure that the
site personnel understand the major architectural differences between IMPAX 6.5.3 and IMPAX 5.3
and earlier. Hold a kick-off meeting for the key stakeholders in the upgrade to explain this and to
identify:
• Site requirements
• Preparations required for success
• Expectations and responsibilities
• Upgrade project milestones
Document the decisions made at the kick-off meeting and deliver these to the site’s primary project
sponsor.
Next, develop a communication plan with the PACS Administrator to ensure that project schedules,
expected changes, and other important information is effectively conveyed to affected personnel at
the site. Also inform the Agfa GSN group about any expected down times.
