Upgrade from BPCS 4.03 to BPCS 8.3 / ERP LX

<vendor>
Hi Jan,

This BPCS/ERP LX essay was written for you: www.unbeatenpath.com/up-a-notch/implement/debunk.pdf
It poses six provocative questions for an enterprise in exactly your situation.
The title on the document is: "Debunking Conventional Wisdom - Software Implementations & Version Migrations"
The content represents our cumulative years of learning about the process.

By the way .... Unbeaten Path developed a Y2K remediation product that employed the same patented 28 year fix philosophy that your company is using. We called it Resuscitator2000.
www.unbeatenpath.com/ads/R2000OxygenCylinder.pdf.
We have the technology to reverse the 28 year fix to prepare six-digit data for migration to eight digit fields. (MS4 went out of business not long after the new century got started.)

One of these days we'll have to start getting our product ready for the rarely-discussed Y10K problem.

With warm regards,

Subject: [BPCS-L] Upgrade from BPCS 4.03 to BPCS 8.3


We are in the process of setting up a plan to upgrade from BPCS 4.03
(pre CD - running MS4) to 8.3.

Anybody through this process? Any suggestions on which route to follow
e.g. going to 4.05CD first etc. would be appreciated.


Regards
Jan
