What do I have to do?
Over the coming weeks, we will be in touch again to assist you with a smooth transition to the new releases for all users. In summary:
- You will start to receive a series of notifications via your desktop and mobile apps. The notifications will include links for you to click on with instructions on how to download the new versions.
- It is recommended all Apps for all users are upgraded at the same time. The Customer Service team will schedule a date to complete this with you, so advise users not to upgrade until we have been in touch with you.
By July 1st, all users within your company must be using the new versions of the Apps. Existing Apps will no longer be supported. - Your App users will need their Horizon user names and passwords to facilitate the change to the new Apps. Please contact us if you do not have this information to hand and we will provide this for you.
Where can I find some help and support for the Horizon Apps process?
- The new apps come with an in-application Knowledgebase that holds training videos, instructions, and frequently asked questions.
“The new Horizon apps are designed to be easier to use, with a cleaner and uncluttered interface on your desktop or mobile device.”
