I whole-heartily agree with Bruce. This may be even more true if you're not
taking data history with you. The only way to learn a system is to use it, use
it, and use it with real data. Instead of doing a single conference room
pilot, we did "progressive pilots" where we tested individual steps and then
progressively added more complexity to the tasks.

Did we test enough scenarios? Heck no. ;-)

I really think it's extremely important to get people to take real paperwork
off of their desk (well, make copies anyway) for the different situations you
must handle day in and day out and follow the task all the way to the end. And
once you get that process down - DOCUMENT IT.

Hi All,

We are currrently using Vantage 5 and looking at upgrading to Vantage 8.

Has anybody done a similiar update and if so was it an easy transition ?

Can you import your Vantage 5 parts into vantage 8 ?

Also has anybody been able to export jobs in vantage 8 to excel or
similar ?

We went from;



5 to 5.2 - Lots of complaining about appearance

5.2 to 6.1 - Wish I had taken more time to explore new
"features" (ie. Engineering workbench, & Task management).

6.1 to 8.03 - Still in process. Lots of capital investment last
year. Lots of testing this year. Waiting for more funding for training
before implementation.



I highly recommend going through the iterations, and learning the
idiosyncrasies of the intermediate versions, especially, if you are
going to take your data history with you.
