2. Why Should You Upgrade?
(The Cliff Notes)
 Software Currency
 Technical Support
 Optimization and Utilization

3. 1. Software Currency
 Bug Fixes
 Software Optimization
 Reduce Manual Processing
 Improve Interfaces and User Workflow
 Improve System Utilization

4. 2. Technical Support
 What if it goes bump in the night?
 Delaying a needed upgrade costs you:
 Money
 Time
 Frustration
 Ensures compliance with the latest in labor
laws and other audit issues.

5. 3. Optimization and Utilization
 Optimization & Utilization:
 It’ll run better
 It’ll be easier for your staff to use the system
 If users use it, you save money (what’s not to love?)
 Do the math:
 Better reporting and analytics saves 1 hour/week/manager
= $4500/week in soft dollar savings
 Over the course of a year, that’s a quarter of a million
dollars in added productivity!

6. More Math
(for the analytical types)
 If your upgrade eliminates manual processing
which saves 1 FTE/business unit -
 Save 1 FTE in 25 business locations
 25 FTE x 30k salary = $750,000 annually
 Is $750,000 significant to your company’s
bottom line?
