Migrating from V8i to CONNECT products

I am developing a migration plan to move to CONNECT Edition products. My organization is currently running:

MicroStation V8i SS-3 08.11.09.459
ProjectWise Client V8i SS-4 08.11.11.123
PW Integration Server V8i SS-4 08.11.11.123
PW InterPlot Organizer V8i SS-4 08.11.11.56
Various V8i apps (InRoads,OpenPlant,AECOsim,ProStructures)

After doing my development and testing, I would anticipate starting the actual move in early 2017. Given that timeframe, are there any compatibility problems with migrating in the following order.:

Upgrade all users to Mstn CONNECT and PW Client CONNECT; do this user-by-user while production is in progress.
Upgrade PW Integration Server to CONNECT version.
Upgrade PW IPlot Organizer to ???
Upgrade apps to CONNECT versions as they become available.

Warren,
It is my understanding that PW IPlot Organizer is going to be discontinued as the native MicroStation Print and Print Orgranizer can submit plots directly to IPlot printers.

We don't have a clear upgrade path defined by Bentley to address PW upgrade on Win 10.

Thanks for that tidbit of info. I have been waiting since about 2010 for Bentley to follow-thru on the announcement that they are headed towards one plotting platform for MicroStation. I look forward to hearing confirmation of this.
