The word “upgrade” has historically been an unpopular word amongst SAP customers due to the associated time, pain and cost of moving to a new version of the given software.
SAP Business One overcomes these issues as you can now reintegrate your modifications into new versions of the solution with minimal effort, virtually eliminating the frustration and costs typically associated with upgrades.
Once the hurdles have been overcome the benefits of upgrading can shine through. Why would you not want to take advantage of new innovative solutions which have been designed to better meet your needs? Improvements have been made with you in mind and the upgrade has been developed to increase and build upon the benefits that your current system provides. Upgrades are designed to support you in keeping your business in line with external environments and help you overcome the changing business challenges which you face.
Sports equipment designer, manufacturer and distributor Unicorn Products reports a successful upgrade from SAP R3 to SAP ECC6.
Unicorn managing director Ed Lowy explains that the company has been running on a SAP ERP system since 1999, but that it needed a system capable of managing the growing complexities of the organisation and improving efficiency.
"Unicorn Products has gone from strength to strength over the last 10 years and an upgrade was necessary to provide us with the maintenance and functionality we need to sustain our growth," he says.
According to an Upgrade survey carried out by Panaya, 2010, 79% of companies surveyed have definitive plans to perform an SAP upgrade in the next 16 months and 45% of those are upgrading in the next 6 months.
