Frequently Asked Questions
We have collated our most frequently asked questions that your practice might have when moving from Bp VIP.net, converting data, and what security looks like for your practice.
We have made the difficult decision to end development and support for Bp VIP.net. The product will enter Maintenance Mode on 31 December 2026, with support concluding and the service formally ending on 30 June 2027. From 31 December 2026, the program will only receive critical updates, however, support will still be available to you.
From 30 June 2027, the product will no longer receive updates, improvements, or technical support, and any associated services will conclude.
Bp VIP.net has supported specialists for more than two decades. However, the age of the platform now places real limits on our ability to meet modern clinical and regulatory expectations, and to continue innovating in ways that support the future of healthcare.
We are also seeing rapid transformation across the specialist software landscape, with solutions becoming more purpose-built and better equipped to support the unique workflows of individual specialties. To ensure practices have access to technology that can evolve alongside their clinical, operational, and regulatory needs, we must concentrate our investment on platforms designed for long-term scalability, innovation, and adaptability.
With this in mind, we have made the difficult decision to transition Bp VIP.net to end of life 30 June 2027. We understand this represents a significant change, and we are committed to supporting every practice through the process.
Practices will need to engage their IT provider to obtain a .bak data export, which is a backup of the database. This file is typically provided to the new Practice Management Software vendor to support the migration process, where the data is extracted and reformatted so it can be imported into the new system.
Note: Images stored outside of the SQL database and exported letters will need to be backed up separately. If performing a data conversion, both will need to be provided to your new practice management software vendor.
Genie is an installed (server-based) solution. Gentu is Magentus’ cloud-based platform. The right choice depends on your practice’s infrastructure, preferences, and specialty. The Magentus team will help you determine which is the better fit during your consultation.
Absolutely. Best Practice are only recommending Genie and Gentu as the strongest options for specialist practices like yours.
