RE: Buy a new system

Jack,

I'm not sure if still available, but there was a 520 MES upgrade option to a 720, instead of buying a new system.
When doing a MES upgrade, you keep your same serial number, reducing both hardware and software upgrade costs.

So I can see upgrading that system to 7.1 and then moving to the new hardware.

In the old days, you could order a new system with new software using your license and since it's only a few users and printers I would move the software and users to the new system.

Where can I buy a new system lol?

The 520's can run 7.1 and it is much easier to move to a new system on the same OS. The new 720 will run 6.1 and 7.1

Yes you can purchase a new system and software. Since it is such a small shop it may not be difficult to recreate the users and security and It could be a good time to tighten security. Make sure you get quotes for upgrading the 3rd party software.

I have a customer that has a 520. The owner of the company likes to buy a new system every 5 or so years. They are a little late but they came to me to get them quotes.



I don't even know where to start. It's a small company with 10 green
screen users so I'm sure the lowest capacity new system would be plenty.
They run a LANSA website, some EDI, and Townsends secure FTP product.



I asked another customers vendor and he said "just upgrade that system to 7.1".



Is it not possible to buy a new system and upgrade the software anymore J
