Need help urgently for Upgrade Strategy

17 Views

Hi,

I'm almost closing an upgrade deal here when suddenly, the IT Director was presented a different strategy that will "save time and money" from the competitor.

Specifically, the steps are below:

1. Fresh installation of ERP 6

2. Data extraction in flat-file from 4.6C and imported into ERP 6

3. Taking reference from 4.6C configuration and manually entered into ERP 6

Technically, this seems OK, and it's probably workable, but from the audit/consulting point of view, the risks are high.

We mentioned the loss of time-stamp for the existing documents, etc., but frankly, if this is treated as a "fresh installation", technically it's not wrong.

Does anyone have anything to add besides these?

Any help would be much appreciated!!!

Thanks in advance!
