Planning Your Next Enterprise Software Upgrade

When you start planning an upgrade for one of your enterprise software applications, such as Perceptive Content (ImageNow), Kofax TotalAgility, or OnBase, even the smallest changes can have huge impacts. That’s why it’s important to bring together the right people, including IT, business owners, and end users, to effectively prepare for all possible changes.

Based on extensive experience with these applications, RPI Senior Consultant Chris Tan and Project Coordinator Sean LaBonte will share recommendations and best practices for planning and executing your next enterprise software upgrade.
