IFS Upgrade - Business Benefits
Going live on an enterprise software upgrade in a smooth, cost efficient manner takes planning, testing, and end-user involvement, but it starts by narrowing upgrade scope. A leaner, more technical upgrade simplifies end-user training, as well as testing.
To sum up, the keys to a lean, efficient software upgrade process include:
- By following a leaner, technical upgrade, time and cost are taken out of projects via factors such as less user training and acceptance testing.
- By doing away with many customizations via the use of configurable fields or standard functionality, there will be less time spent redeveloping and testing customizations.
- Time spent on upgrades by “super-users” and other users is broken down into more manageable phases when you follow a technical upgrade with targeted mini-projects to roll out select enhancements.
- By shortening the time involved in upgrade projects, there is less disruption to the business.
- From a software lifecycle perspective, a lean upgrade process delivers lower TCO while enabling the steady addition of desirable functions.
