Making the switch from CAS Desktop to CAS 360 can seem daunting at first, but BGL will assist clients to manage this project.
Clients will engage with our Client Success Team to help make the switch with you.
Assisted Migration
When you have completed the purchase of your CAS360, the nominated Administrator of the license will receive a 'Welcome' email that will ask you to log in, nominate a password and set up multi-factor authentication to access your new platform.
For further information on this process, please refer below:
| Select JOIN from the 'Welcome' email. |
| Following this, a new tab will open on your web browser that will request you to nominate a password. Please do so using a unique set of characters and letters that you will remember. |
| The system will then prompt you to set up multi-factor authentication. |
| You should now be able to login to your CAS 360 and begin inviting other users into the software as well. For further information on how to do so, please click here. |
The preparations for migrating to CAS 360 are completed in three steps:
- Review the Pre-Migration guide, ensuring your company data is up-to-date.
- Connect CAS Desktop with your CAS 360 Firm.
- Run validations for your companies to confirm the accuracy of migrated data.
1. Review the Pre-Migration Guide
Ensure you review your company data prior to migration, ensuring all details are accurate and up-to-date. You will also need to change the Annual Return year to the current calendar year.
- Refer to the following Pre-Migration Guide for more information.
2. Connect CAS Desktop with your CAS 360 Firm
To migrate from CAS Desktop to CAS 360, you will need to access the Migration Utility.
- For more detailed instructions, see the Migrate from CAS to CAS 360 article.
Note: Microsoft Windows Requirements
At least Windows 7 Service Pack 1 is required on the computer that is running the Migration Utility.
Please ensure your computer is updated as necessary prior to attempting migration.
- Start by opening CAS Desktop. From the explorer screen, select Introducing CAS 360:
- The Introducing CAS 360 window will open. Select the Migrate icon to open the utility:
- Follow the instructions on screen to link your CAS Desktop to your CAS 360 Firm.
3. Run Validations for All Companies Being Migrated:
Once you are ready to continue, you will be required to complete a Validation Check in your CAS Desktop software using the Migration Utility.
- For instructions on how to access this Migration Utility, see Step 2 - Connect CAS Desktop with your CAS 360 firm above.
|
Select the companies you are migrating to CAS 360 and then select Run Validations. Note: To select all companies, please select Run Validation without selecting any companies and the validation will process for all your companies. |
| The Migration utility will run a check to confirm the accuracy of the data being migrated. |
|
What happens if you receive a validation error? A validation error will appear if a particular piece of company information needs to be corrected. These errors can be:
Refer to Validation Checks for assistance in resolving the particular error(s) that you receive. |
In order for Client Success to commence the migration of your data, you will be required to provide appropriate 30-day access to the team. Please refer to the below steps on how to do so:
| Once logged into CAS 360, select the App Switcher on the top right of the screen. | |
| Select Users. | |
| A new screen will load, select the Admin tab on the left-hand side bar. Following this, select Token Management. | |
| The Token Management screen will load. Select Share with BGL Success for CAS 360 |
| Ensure all users are logged out of CAS Desktop, you can then stop Nexus (refer to How to stop the Nexus Service). |
|
Once Nexus has been stopped, you will be required to extract two folders from your CASWIN folder.
Please note: If CAS is stored on a remote server, please ensure the files are extracted on the server. |
| These folders will need to be zipped and sent via a secure Dropbox link that will be provided to you by the team. |
While you wait for the migration to be completed by the team, BGL highly recommends taking the time to view the below resources to become familiar with the basic functions of your new product.

FAQs
Each job differs based on requirements and workload. When you request assistance with the team, they will make contact with you to assess timeframes and advise accordingly.
As this is cloud-based software, you can have unlimited users on the platform at any given time. Users do not need to be logged out of the software whilst the project is in process.
Please Note: We do recommend that users do not work on companies on CAS Desktop currently being reviewed by the Client Success Team. Once the CAS data is provided to the Client Success Team, any changes made on CAS Desktop may not be replicated on CAS 360 post-migration.
Companies with the below status will not be migrated to CAS 360:
- Struck Off/Degregistered as the Company Status, and/or
- Companies with Company Status as “No Longer Client”
If you do not wish to migrate certain companies to CAS 360, follow the steps below:
1. In your Company Selection, right-click onto the company > select Company Data > Client, CAS Data
In Client, CAS Data, make sure that "Current Client?" is not ticked/ unchecked. Click Save
The status for the company under Company Selection will now display as "No Longer Client" and this company won't be migrated to CAS 360.
