3. Upgrade Methodology Significantly Reduces Costs
In most cases, an upgrade to 4.0 is a two-step process, depending on which version your company
is running. YASH’s recommended phased approach incorporates our Streamlined Implementations
(S-Imple) for BusinessObjects methodology. Based on Scrum principles, YASH dramatically reduces
blueprinting, development and testing phases as customers are involved in the early stages of the
implementation and are able to view changes easily via playback sessions.
Businesses currently operating on XI 3.x, XI release 2 SP2 platform or higher can simply upgrade to
4.0. Businesses with older releases must first upgrade to XI release 2 SP2 or XI 3.x before upgrading
to 4.0 to ensure optimal results:
