We are moving Spine services from being hosted across physical data centres to the cloud. The migration is scheduled to take place in October and November 2023.
We’re asking organisations that connect to Spine services to take part in connectivity and regression testing this July and August to prepare for the move.
Find out what you need to do and learn more about our approach to the migration.
