GiftWrap 4.0 Migration Overview
GiftWrap 3.6 to GiftWrap 4.0
Unlike previous releases, GiftWrap 4.0 is not an update of your current GiftWrap software, but a move to a new Web-based application hosted by PG Calc. The nature of this change requires coordination between your staff and ours.
The table below provides an overview of migration activities. More detail will be provided to you for each step in the migration process.
