Mirth Connect to NextGen Connect Upgrade — Zero-Downtime in 4 Weeks
Move from legacy Mirth Connect 3.x or 4.x to the latest NextGen Connect release in 4 weeks. Channel migration, JavaScript/Groovy transformer updates, database schema migration, regression testing, and zero-downtime production deployment. Fixed-price sprint starting at $8,800. Ideal for teams running Mirth versions that have aged past their security and CVE-patching window.

Why Teams Do This Sprint
Security and CVE patching
Older Mirth versions don't get security patches. CVEs in the underlying Java and Mirth stack accumulate; running unpatched in production is a HIPAA risk.
FHIR R4 maturity
FHIR R4 support improved substantially across NextGen Connect releases. If you're still on Mirth 3.x, you're missing meaningful FHIR functionality.
Performance improvements
JVM and Mirth core have meaningful throughput and memory improvements in newer versions. Real production teams see 20–40% throughput gains after upgrade.
Vendor support
If you have a NextGen Connect support contract, vendor support drops for older versions. Stay current to keep that lifeline.
Operational features
Newer versions have better admin tooling — improved channel statistics, audit log queries, plugin compatibility — that older versions lack.
What We Deliver
Concrete deliverables. Code in your Git repo at the end.
Common Problems We Fix
If any of these match your situation, the sprint resolves them.
Channel export from old version fails to import in new version
Root cause: Channel-export format changes between major versions. Solution: use intermediate format conversion or rebuild channel definitions in the new version using the export as reference.
Deprecated transformer functions cause runtime errors
Root cause: Functions removed across major versions (e.g. specific HL7 helper APIs). Solution: pre-upgrade audit identifies all calls; we replace with current equivalents.
Plugin doesn't load in new version
Root cause: Plugin built against an older Mirth API. Solution: check vendor for updated plugin or rebuild against current API; in some cases the plugin functionality is now native.
Database migration fails on large message store
Root cause: Schema change requires column additions on a multi-million-row table. Solution: pre-stage migration with a backup and run during the maintenance window with proper indexing.
Pricing — All Numbers Public
Three productized sprint sizes, plus an optional managed-support continuation.
30-minute call. We confirm your current version, channel count, plugin inventory, and risk profile — produce a written effort estimate and identify any deprecated functions you're using.
NextGen Connect Upgrade Sprint
Standard sprint. Audit, test environment, channel migration, transformer updates, regression testing, zero-downtime cutover, rollback runbook.
Mid-Size Upgrade
Adds extra weeks for the larger channel count and longer regression window.
Add Ongoing Support
After the upgrade, continue with monthly Silver support — proactive monitoring catches issues that didn't show up in regression. Strongly recommended for the first 3 months post-upgrade.
