We’re migrating to the Azure platform | Back to the top

We recently provided notice of our intention to appoint two new sub-processors and move from our current dedicated data centre at Rackspace, to the Microsoft Azure Platform.

We will be performing the migration on Saturday 22nd July 2023 and there will be some scheduled downtime.  We expect moneyinfo and moneyinfo Manager to be unavailable from 8.00am until 4.00pm on Saturday 22nd July.  A maintenance page will be displayed whilst the sites are unavailable. You may wish to notify your clients in advance of the scheduled downtime, either by sending out a bulk secure message or using the notifications feature.

Based on the feedback we received we have recorded a short video of MD Tessa Lee and Head of Operations Gavin Trevett talking about the move to Microsoft Azure and the benefits. Click below to watch the session.
