Switching to Castorix without starting over

We move your data, your pages and your people with you. Most municipalities go live with their first application in about eight weeks.

Plan your switch

Discover

We map your departments, current systems and what has to keep working on day one.

Week 1

Import

We import a sample, you check it, then we import everything and send you a report.

Weeks 2–4

Train

A pilot group of staff learns the back office on your own data, in English or French.

Weeks 5–6

Go live

We point your domain, turn on redirects from old addresses and stay close for the first month.

Weeks 7–8

What we import

From the systems you run today

Your website: pages and files from your current CMS, such as WordPress or Drupal
Your library: bibliographic records in MARC21 from your ILS, such as Koha or Evergreen, plus patrons and active loans
Your spreadsheets: residents, programs and anything else in CSV or Excel

What stays the same

Residents shouldn’t notice the move

Your domain stays yours
Old page addresses redirect to the new ones, so bookmarks and search results keep working
Library cards keep their numbers and barcodes keep working
You can run old and new side by side during the pilot

Redirects

# old address → new address /index.php?page=library-hours → /pages/library/ /departments/recreation.html → /pages/recreation/ /council/agenda-2026.pdf → /media/council/agenda-2026.pdf

Getting started is easy.

Start with one application and a pilot group of staff. We import your data and you keep your domain.
