<description><![CDATA[Our office is scheduled to upgrade AssessPro to AP5 next fiscal year.  We have been told that our current server will not meet the requirements for AP5.   I am looking for any new server requirements that were given to anyone that upgraded to the newer version.  Additionally, Catalis (formerly Patriot Properties) has informed us that they offer both Cloud Hosting and full application Streaming options as a replacement to purchasing a new server. 

Has anyone upgraded to AP5 and forgone a server in favor of cloud-based storage only?  I am extremely leery of not having the maximum back up of our data. 

Thank you for any advice you can provide!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hello:<br />The Town of Erving has switched to AP5 cloud.  It seems to be working fine.  It is a bit slower than regular AP5 and printing can be cumbersome but overall we are fine with it.  If you have any questions, please reach out to me at the Town of Erving.<br /><br />Jacquelyn Boyden, MAA<br />Principal Assessor <br />Town of Erving<br />jacquelyn.boyden@erving-ma.gov]]></description>
