APP will be undergoing a major upgrade to be put into effect in March 2020.

This upgrade will include design changes and new functionality, including some of the State's requested enhancements. SPO is currently developing training materials to prepare agencies for the upgrade, as well as system and user testing. Click here to see the current timeline for the project.

Ivalua Analysis and Upgrade: The Change Advisory Board, in collaboration with Ivalua, will select features of the upgrade desired by the State and implementation of the upgrade.

System Integration Testing: Testing the integration between APP and AFIS to make sure the two systems communicate with each other as expected. No changes to the current integration are anticipated as a result of the upgrade.

User Acceptance Testing (UAT): Actual users will test the upgraded system to make sure the software meets expectations defined in scripts. We will be looking for users from agencies volunteers for UAT; if you are interested in UAT, please contact us. 

Deliver Training: The upgrade will bring changes to the look of APP and will include some new features. There will be web-based training available in Tracorp highlighting what has changed as a result of the upgrade. Existing training and QRGs will be updated to incorporate features of the upgrade.

Go Live: The upgrade is scheduled to go live the third week in March. The exact go live date will be communicated at a future time.

On December 6th there will be an Arizona Procurement Portal User Expo with representatives from iValua where attendees can get an understanding of what APP will look like after the upgrade. Communications will be sent out accordingly.
