Upgrade and Archive Strategies for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne

IT technologies continue to evolve at a rapid pace. "New and improved" and "Better, faster, more cost-effective" are the buzzwords that encourage competition and drive the need to take advantage of the newest technology. The hardware and software applications that one relies on to run the business must remain current in order to consistently deliver competitive advantage. Conducting "Business as usual" is no longer an option. The vendors that continue to develop and deliver market-leading hardware, storage and software applications appear to be holding the future of the business operations in their hands. IT organizations have to make intelligent and sometimes difficult decisions, regarding whether to upgrade to the latest version or remain with the status quo for some period of time.
