Dear Supporters:
We have some exciting news! Later this month we will be upgrading our systems so that we can provide an even higher level of service to our partners!
We'll be providing additional information regarding the upgrade as we get closer -- but there are a couple things we needed you to know right-away:
- The Pet Adoption Tracker and website hits charts will not update starting this coming Sunday 2/6 through when we complete our system upgrade later this month. The tracker and website hits data will still be collected, and will be immediately available in the charts when the upgrade is complete.
- We aren't changing the functionality of any of our services -- so don't worry about things looking completely different after our upgrade. We'll let you know before hand about the few minor things that will look or act different so there's no surprises or lost productivity.
What you won't be able to see is the significant horsepower we're adding behind our services -- tons more server power, storage for data and images, load balancers, and making it possible to scale up our resources without limits.
We are making huge improvements on the "backend" so there might be a few bugs to resolve, but we're planning, working and testing to avoid any big problems... and any problems we do notice will be resolved immediately.
For our users, the biggest impact will be the possibility of new services in the near future. We've been talking recently about a few of the services we'd like to offer, and after our upgrades they will quickly become a reality.
So, watch your mailbox over the next week or two for additional information.
