Upgrade Value Assessment
As you evaluate upgrading, there are many factors to consider. An enterprise software upgrade requires justification, buy-in and budget approval by many stakeholders within organization. Rather than trying to do the internal analysis and justification on your own—with limited resources and competing projects—let QAD Global Services consultants give your stakeholders the expert view of what it will take to upgrade your QAD Enterprise Applications.
Senior consultants will help to analyze your current environment, including infrastructure, configuration, customizations, business processes and installed applications and provide an assessment and set of recommendations to help justify and plan for an upgrade. This assessment usually can be completed within two to three weeks.
There are compelling business reasons to upgrade to QAD 2008—reduced operational costs, higher systems availability, reduced customizations and streamlined business processes. With automated QAD-developed tools, lower-cost remote resources and years of upgrade experience; QAD Consulting can lower your risk and deliver a cost-effective, rapid upgrade.
