#### Begin implementation

Implement any necessary tools or integrations on the impact.com platform. This may require development work from your tech team to ensure all systems are properly connected.

1. **Switch to UTT:** impact.com's [Universal Tracking Tag](https://integrations.impact.com/impact-brand/docs/javascript-utt-tracking-integration) offers comprehensive tracking of consumer journeys, direct traffic, and conversion paths, allowing you to get valuable insights from your referral data.
2. **Update widgets:** Implement the updated widgets on your website to ensure a seamless integration.

#### Migration timeline

The timeline for migration depends on your integration requirements, and your CSM will clarify this with you once your tech plan has been developed. Typically, the process takes 1-3 weeks. While impact.com's team does the necessary background work over this period, your team will have the time to focus on updates to your implementation. For an estimate of the time or resources you'll need to assign your tech team, consult your finalized tech plan or your CSM.
