JDA / Manugistics Upgrades
Many factors drive the need for an Manugistics upgrade or migration. Most of the cases being changing business needs or 'end of support' scenario. Many organizations also adopt a migration strategy to standardize their present IT systems into one coherent set which is more powerful and robust than the current running version. Some of the other reasons are-
- Moving from Legacy to New Applications
- Upgrading to new version of applications and the existing OS becomes unstable
- Moving from Multiple Instance to Fewer Instances
-
Merger & Acquisition Integration
- Legacy Retirement
