The Source Solution Supplier (SSS) will provide a mechanism by which the Target Solution Supplier (TSS) can keep the Target Solution up to date with the live Source Solution, such that there is no need to do a large final data extract containing every Patient Record for the migrating Practice:

• The mechanism provided by the SSS will enable the migrating Practice to conduct a weekend cutover (5pm Friday start, Target Solution operational for 8am the following Monday)

• The SSS will provide an API or other Data Transfer Mechanism (DTM) that is accessible by the TSS and can be used to update the Target Solution on an ongoing basis over the internet

  • The DTM will be accessible to the TSS 24 hours per day for the duration of migration process

• Data provided via the DTM will be no more than 12 hours behind the data within the live Source Solution

  • There will be a mechanism for the SSS to be able to understand when the data within the DTM was last updated

• The SSS will ensure that it takes no longer than 6 hours at any stage for all updated data (as per DMI07) within the Source Solution to be available to be consumed by the Target Solution

• The SSS will respond to any data issues raised by the TSS in a timely manner, such that the weekend cutover can be completed
