- The most important first step for a successful move to Noah as a Service is to first upgrade all of your computers to Noah 4.1012. Noah 4.10 12 includes a new networking infrastructure for more stable and robust network communication over internet connections. You can download Noah 4.10 from the HIMSA website.
- Another important requirement is a good internet connection. You will access your Noah Server over the internet. This will require a stable and reliable internet connection. If you are concerned or curious about your internet speed, see the speed checking tool below.

- Next, get an accurate picture of your current Noah setup:
- How many computers with Noah?
- What version of Noah is on the machines?
- Are you combining databases from standalone machines or multiple offices?
- How many unique users will be accessing Noah?
- Do they have user accounts?
- Have passwords been enabled in Noah?
- Do the users know their passwords?
- Are they using complex passwords?
- Next, think about your Noah user accounts and passwords
- For Phase One of the Noah as a Service testing HIMSA will be providing you with test Noah User Accounts and Passwords to log into the remote Noah Server. You will continue to user your existing accounts when logging into your own local Noah.
- For Phase Two, your patient database will be moved to your remote Noah Server hosted by HIMSA and HIMSA requires that login security is enabled and 'Enforce strong user passwords' is selected. See details in the box below and a screen shot of where to locate these security settings in the Noah Console.
