Migration of Perceptech customers to Transphere

 

Migration process

 

The Perceptech to ACCEO Transphere migration is done as follows:

  • The Perceptech user receives an email to prepare the Perceptech to ACCEO Transphere transition.
  • The day of the transition, the final transactions are processed by Perceptech. The transactions are sent financial institutions at noon. The Perceptech service is modified at that time to be
    available in read-only. The service will remain active for 90 days to recover the final rejects.
  • The service is migrated to ACCEO Transphere. The user receives an email inviting them to create their user account in ACCEO Transphere.
  • Active and recurrent transactions in Perceptech are migrated to ACCEO Transphere. It is important to make sure everything is in order in the ACCEO Transphere system.
  • A “test” transaction is processed (for an amount between $0.01 and $0.10) to ensure that everything works properly. The “test” transaction is then reversed.
