There is a specialized import process from 1.8.1.0+ versions of EPIC to 1.9.0.0. Customers will need to be updated to 1.8.1.0 or above, then take a backup. After installation of 1.9.0.0, this backup can be directly imported into EPIC 1.9.0.0 for a seamless upgrade.
If District View is being utilized along with the EPIC System, it must also be upgraded to 1.1.0.0+ to be compatible with EPIC System 1.9.0.0+
