Now Accepting Orders for Surpass Cloud
With the official release of Surpass Cloud just weeks away, we are thrilled to announce that we are now accepting pre-orders.
What is Surpass Cloud?
Surpass Cloud is everything you love about Surpass re-imagined and relocated to the cloud. It is accessible everywhere using any device with a modern web browser. There is no software to install or update and no servers to install or maintain. To learn more about Surpass Cloud, please visit our shiny new website: https://SurpassSoftware.com.
How does pre-order work?
We realize that many libraries need to plan ahead for budgeting. If your Surpass Support subscription is expiring within the next few months, this is a good time to consider switching to Surpass Cloud. Surpass Cloud subscriptions include both software and support, and it's all hosted in the cloud. Even if your subscription does not expire for some time, we can apply the remaining portion of your Surpass Support subscription towards Surpass Cloud.
When can I start using Surpass Cloud?
You can start using Surpass Cloud immediately on release date, even if your existing Surpass Support subscription has not yet expired. If your existing Surpass Support subscription expires before release date, your support will extend until release date. Your Surpass Cloud subscription begins on release date and expires on the 1-year anniversary.
When is the release date?
We are in the "home stretch," putting the finishing touches on a few features and testing others. We are on-target for a release date early this spring, likely before the end of March. You can follow our progress on Development and Status Roadmap in Surpass Cloud's online documentation (also a work-in-progress).
Can I use it before release date?
Sure! If you pre-order Surpass Cloud, let us know that you want to get started early and we'll get you set up. We'll migrate your Surpass database to Surpass Cloud, but you can continue to use your existing Surpass for Windows software. After the release date, when you're ready to make the switch, we'll migrate your database once more so it is up to date.
How difficult is it to move from my current Surpass system to Surpass Cloud?
It's exceedingly simple! Because it is built with Surpass users in mind, transition to Surpass Cloud is seamless and is handled by Surpass Support. We migrate your cataloged resources, patron records, circulation history, circulation rules, and other settings. It usually takes less than a day

What does it cost?
There are five Surpass Cloud subscription plans available to existing Surpass for Windows users. Each includes software, support, and hosting. If you currently subscribe to Surpass Hosting Service, your annual costs are likely lower with Surpass Cloud:
- Congregational - Designed for congregational libraries such as churches, synagogues, and other places of worship. It's designed to appeal to current Surpass CL users. Limits: 10,000 volumes, 1,000 patrons. Cost: $500/year.
- Small Library - Full-featured library management for small libraries. Similar to Surpass SL. Limits: 5,000 volumes, 1,000 patrons. Cost: $700/year.
- Large Library - Full-featured library management system for larger libraries. Similar to Surpass Select. Limits: 100,000 volumes, 5,000 patrons. Cost: $1,100/year, discounted to $900/year for K-12 schools.
- District - Full-featured library management system for libraries that have multiple locations or branches. If your current Surpass system includes multiple locations in one centralized database, this is the one for you. Cost per location: $1,150/year, discounted to $950/year for K-12 schools.
- Premier - Full featured library management system for libraries with a large collection and high number of patrons, such as public and college libraries. Like District, it also supports multiple locations/branches in a single database. Cost per location: $1,800/year.
Safari Selections (now called Enhanced Content), and Reading Program Service for Accelerated Reader, Lexile, and Reading Counts, are also available for Surpass Cloud.
