I am working in a heavily "seasoned" XE installation. Everything customized & mix of World / OneWorld. Aside from the obvious reasons, I am attempting to divine arguments for and make the case for an 8.12 upgradation.
Having worked with all releases B73.1 to 8.12, I can argue until I'm blue in the face about how much better 8.12 is than XE. Unfortunately, IT managers (being managers that they are) have a difficult time understanding the cumulative qualitative improvements in JDE software circa 1999. So, I am going to throw down the gauntlet and put it in terms Dogbert and pointy-haired types would appreciate - IT productivity (specifically headcount).
So, long story short, I would like to get some empirical data from other JDE people on the productivity impact of 8.x releases on an IT organization. Basically, I would like to find out whether 8.x has significantly improved productivity / reduced man-hours at your company in the areas of system admin, development, CNC, etc. Basically, I would like to get some data on how much less or more time FTEs or consultants (developers, CNC admin, system admins, security admins, analysts) are having to work on JDE after going from XE to 8.x.
I would sincerely appreciate your help / input.
