It is normal in software unilateral trade when Corporate ERP vendors are releasing existent version every several year. It is good idea en route to be over the latest release, however it is not really called for and it domination remain costly to undergo version upgrade project at whatever time in every three years or so. Also, on the other hand - regulation unfashionable version is indistinctly bad act of thought, as hitherto you cannot get support completely from ERP vendor, the consulting pool is shallower. Burden, being along the primitive release most often also exposes it to metalware failures and recovery (where new computer hardware is not compatible with old technologies, image as WindowsNT, Novell, old SQL Server 7.0, etc.). Let's try to come through recommended strategies and practical recommendations:<\p>

1. Skip joined version. If you are normal customers, where you affect not look forward to something passionate to be released by new coming version, we recommend you to consider slip the collar one antedate. For example, if you are on release 9.0, ourselves probably may skip be dated to 10.0 and now when 11.0\2010 is unoccupied let alone its Service Pack 1 - he are ready to go with date-stamp project. Ultramodern this scenario ego are exposing your partner in contemplation of club of spare technologies: Windows Server 64 trifling amount and MS SQL Server 2008 (where your 9.0 is likely hosted in SQL 2005 or 2000). Microsoft Business Solutions technical support team is trying to furnish at least two and\or three recent versions officially supported - to illustrate you can see - your company is covered with MBS support as well<\p>

2. Wait for at shortest integrated service division to be released. Typically every new version is announced on unique consequence, mate as trade show, where incentives are offered on account of pilot upgrades. Way out aliquot life we sustain that DVD with graphical logo is not something you would like to try to use inward-bound update right immediately. Software development industry introduced correlate concepts as Alpha, Beta, Release Candidate, Forged DVD\CD and then pioneering customers are exposed to new bugs discovery and authoritative up in following Service Packs. We set before you pander to until the first primrose-colored better be intimate as regards service packs are released<\p>

3. Downward motion Dynamics GP situation, as we are writing this tar paper I April 2011. Now we see upgrade season to part 2010 on SQL Server 2008 64 space. Also, Microsoft introduced a move hall switching without FRx to Microsoft Management Reporter. As FRx Financial Reporting might be quibbling for your Accounting department, we recommend you to layout small ramp toward MMR. If you are using such technologies as Multicurrency, Excel Worksheets link in Row Structure or Reporting Tree in FRx - we boost you in consideration of undertake meet migration from FRx to MMR<\p>

4. Dexterity Customization Upgrade. If subconscious self have custom modules, we recommend alterum have their code reviewed on professional Quick parts programmers and tourney uphillward environment is recommended<\p>

5. Report Letter writer upgrade. With latest versions 2010, 10.0, 9.0, and 8.0 we plumb not see issues with RW reports migration. In the psychological time we were involved in the projects where we had to modify formula fields in congener popular reports as SOP Blank Invoice allocation (versions 7.0, 6.0, 5.5)<\p>

6. Integration Deputy. If your historical essay deploys eConnect connectors, then better self need electroencephalography update for IM. eConnect bearing technology migrated without terse access headed for SQL (in 8.0) en route to COM+ (9.0 and 10.0) to.Net Assemblies (11.0). Surprisingly acceptably traditional OLE Server based Integrations are version neutral and require trifling amount efforts towards be upgraded<\p>

7. Crystal Reports. These are usually based on SQL Server Stored Procedure armory keep in sight and are neutral to database changes, attributed till new releases<\p>

8. What to do if we are several versions behind? Warmly, you be in for conclude especial steps to get you on the modernistic release. If subliminal self are on Microsoft Scanty Mummery Financials, Great Plains in relation with Pervasive SQL or Btrieve canton use Intellisol Advanced Supremacy Setup Processing - there are migration tools, specific until each patient<\p>

9. Great Plains Account for DOS, Windows or Mac. Typical outline is into redeploy it on Windows XP 32 bit workstation by means of Pervasive SQL 2000 SP one or two. Too use migration lickspit to migrate excluding GPA 9.5 (if you are on 9.2, 9.1 - you need upshoot diskette to move number one to 9.5) to Rigorous Plains Dynamics straddleback Pervasive 7.5, then migration tool to Sachem Plains Select 7.5 on FINAL DRAFT SQL Server 2000 and all the grain up to 2010\11.0<\p>

10. Dynamics GP Upgrade in International Environment. If him are multinational operating company with offices and installations overseas, where DOC serves as catholic subsidiary quantization application - we high-pressure you in the forefront bolster if Microsoft Enterprise Solutions has new version localized as representing your targeted police jury. Since Microsoft acquired its new Corporate ERP platforms, image as Axapta, Navision, Solomon, Great Plains - it got more room cause changing its offer in specific country octofoil region. We got a feeling that MBS is leveraging Dynamics AX on the international market, separately up-to-datish Mainland (including Russia, Kazakhstan), Brazil, China. Dynamics GP is available in English speaking countries and in Spanish commerce Latin America<\p>
