The release date for Procare v10 is upon us!

Here is a brief update on some important points:


Procare v10 Release Schedule

  • Starting October 5th, we began implementing Procare v10 in a phased fashion.
  • First priority will be childcare centers who have already requested original data entry (versus converting existing data).
  • We'll then move to centers who wish to convert their existing data. We will manage implementation of these centers through the months of October, November and December.
  • Orders will be shipped based on the date the order was placed by the customer, beginning with April 2009.
  • V10 program modules for Payroll, Accounts Payable and General Ledger will be included in a later release. Centers licensed for these modules, who wish to convert their existing data from these modules will implement v10 at that time.
  • Hardware: If your order included any hardware items such as the Procare Time Clock Touch, they will arrive in a separate shipment directly from the distributor at roughly the same time as your software order.
  • New Procare Users: Your software order will be processed within 2-3 days of placing your order.

What is your 'Cutover Strategy'?

  • Learning new things and breaking ties with familiar things is not easy, and we know you will think long and hard about the best way for your business to undertake this transition.
  • Once you have Procare Version 10 onboard, your timeline for switching over to it is entirely up to you. You can be aggressive, or you can take your time and become comfortable with this new application, as your business needs dictate! We emphasize this to point out that taking time to learn a new application sometimes gets you further in the long run, even if it slightly delays 'going live'.
  • You may initially choose to use v10 with an empty database, experimenting with data entry and learning key functions. You can't know everything instantly, so take your time and absorb it. Then convert your data and go live!
  • Alternatively, you might convert to V10 immediately and run both v9 and v10 in parallel, maintaining both for a short time and moving on to v10 at your own pace.
