It's the Final Countdown!

Happy New Year!  We are nearing the end of our migrations with the start of wave 9 this month! CY2021 included our largest number of migrating districts!  Approximately 310 districts migrated during waves 7 and 8!  With the remaining districts scheduled in wave 9 (ODE stated wave 10 is reserved for emergency migrations), the light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter! We appreciate both ITC and district staff's on-going efforts and dedication in making this happen!

Just a reminder, our classic software applications will be retired in December 2022. This means we will no longer support the classic software after calendar 2022 closing is complete nor will districts be able to process a payroll for calendar year 2023 in the classic software.  If you are still using our classic applications and are unclear of your migration plan, please contact your ITC immediately for further assistance. To state it clearly once more you will not be able to process 2023 payrolls in the classic software, so it is imperative that you have migrated off of classic before you need to run your first 2023 payroll.

  The Inventory application, a separate brand new application, made its debut mid-August.
