Normal Dealerweb Showroom operations have resumed
Unfortunately, during the migration, some elements took longer than expected. To minimise customer disruption, we were unable to complete the AWS migration within the given timeframe and have therefore reverted to the existing server services. We are addressing the unexpected challenges and will plan accordingly to complete the migration in due course. We will provide notice when we plan to proceed and aim to keep showroom disruption to a minimum.
Dealerweb Showroom
On Monday 24th June 2024 we will be performing a planned AWS (Amazon Web Services) server migration for Dealerweb Showroom users. This is an essential upgrade that will allow us to improve our auto scaling capability and accommodate business growth ensuring the continuity of service that we provide to you. There will be no change to the user experience or platform functionality.
To minimise disruption, we are carrying out all scheduled work outside of standard showroom opening hours. The maintenance is set to begin at 18.00 on Monday 24th June, during this time Dealerweb Showroom will be unavailable. We are expecting normal service to resume from 07.00 on Tuesday 25th June.

CitNOW Appraise and CitNOW Triage

Update
We’re pleased to confirm the issue has been identified and action has been taken to resolve it, with normal service resuming since.
The root cause of the issue was an intermittent resource consumption problem on one of our servers, and due to this intermittency, the resolution took longer than expected.
Our engineering teams and hosting partner will continue to monitor this closely for the foreseeable future to ensure this does not occur again, with additional mitigation measures being put in place.
