issues. In response, the UPC promptly initiated the development of a new CMS and started an intensive testing phase – in terms of functionali - ties, structure and the quality of data migration. On 11 June 2025, the UPC announced that the new CMS will be rolled out in two phases to ensure a smooth and stable transition while min- imising potential risks. The first phase, starting in July 2025, is supposed to focus on opt-out func - tionalities and the registration of representatives. This limited launch is intended to give users the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the

new system. The second phase will follow in September 2025, when the full CMS will go live for all users. According to available information, the UPC also plans to launch a dedicated web - page providing comprehensive support materi - als, such as FAQs, user guides and tutorials, to assist users throughout the transition. This is very welcome news, as the authors believe it is crucial to ensure that the new CMS is reliable, intuitive, user-friendly and capable of handling increasing case volumes without technical dis - ruptions.
