1. When does MIAFTR data Go Live in Navigate?

    We're moving MIAFTR data into Navigate on Monday 24 November 2025. From that data, all existing MIAFTR users will access this data from the MIB's Navigate platform.

  2. What testing and reassurance activities are you doing in the background to make sure this migration and Go-Live will work?

    We've already completed a Proof of Concept for our data migration approach and will now be preparing to action multiple dry-runs of data migration between now and the end of September, including after that a final dress-rehearsal. 

    This ensures that we both validate the data is migrating correctly, and practice our process for moving the data efficiently at Go-Live 

    We're also actioning a parallel-run – which means that behind the scenes we are ingesting data from your current inputs to Solera and ensuring that we are processing those inputs in the same way. 

  3. Where can I find more information about Go-Live weekend 21-24 November?

    We've shared the schedule for our Go-Live weekend here. We're hosting a webinar on 7 October to share more on this.

  4. What's being done to ensure MIPD functionality won’t be impacted by the MIAFTR Go-Live if anything goes wrong?

    We're running full regression, penetration and performance testing, across both products, to make sure that VS&TD (MIAFTR) Go Live does not affect MIPD. 

  5. What is the rollback plan?

    During our Go Live weekend and for a short period of time after Go-Live, our rollback plan is to revert to MIAFTR which is hosted by Solera.  

    If this is necessary, Portal users would be instructed to log-in to MIAFTR if a rollback was implemented. API users would need to repoint their integration to Solera (if they’ve already switched) to continue operations. 

     

  6. Where are the training resources?

    We have a growing range of training materials including user guides, demo videos to support Navigate users.

    We’ll also be supporting customers share these training materials with their internal users ahead of Go-Live.

  7. Will there be any MIAFTR downtime during the Go Live weekend?

    Yes, MIAFTR will be taken offline at 12:00pm on Friday 21 November so MIB can begin migration activity into Navigate. The MIAFTR portal, API connections and batch submissions will be unavailable until Monday 24 November when MIAFTR data will be accessed from Navigate.

    See our VS&TD Go Live page for more information.

  8. What should I do on Monday 24 November - Go-Live day?

    Wait to receive confirmation from MIB that Navigate VS&TD is live and available and then you can log-in and access Navigate. 

  9. Will there be support available on Go-Live day?

    Yes, the Navigate engagement team will be on hand to answer any queries throughout Go-Live day and the weeks that follow. 

  10. Who’s my engagement lead?

    Drop us an email at engagement@mib.org.uk and one of the team will be in touch. 

  11. What support will you be providing to help users familiarise themselves with Navigate?

    Please see our Training page that has the support materials users will need to use Navigate. Users should also look at our User Access FAQs.
