Key Sections - Migration to SIS

“The Migration period will typically be around a two to three year time frame during which carriers will join SIS in a phased approach. One of the key challenges in this migration is the current IDEC file( which is switched from billing to billed carriers by ATPCO). At the time of SIS implementation, all carriers will need to move the submission of their Current (old) IDEC files to IS.”
