My company has determined the upgrade path from v4.4 should be to E9 instead of v8 because of the customizations that would be affected. Our initial feeling was to transition to v8 because it is potentially less buggy than the early E9. Generally speaking I have heard that you don't go to the new level unless there are several revisions beyond release. We are proceeding slowly and creating current state process flows to lead to future state (with all the improvements we would desire) to be implemented in E9. We are currently in the early E9 education and familiarization mode which I think you would avoid given your prowess in v8. Bottom line is that the customizations are driving the E9 upgrade path because nobody can predict what type of v8 to E9 customization symbiosis will exist downstream. Any guesses?
