Your context

Your current CPM system is no longer able to support the dynamics of your business processes. Maintaining the system and supporting end-users takes more and more time, and require you to push the limits of what the system was designed to do. You are running an older version of the CPM software (e.g. SAP BPC, formerly known as OutlookSoft CPM) and would like to upgrade to the most recent version to employ all its new features. But most of all you just want to move forward and assist your business peers with sound advice and guidance. You believe that migrating or upgrading your CPM system will help you to achieve just that.

Challenges you will be facing

Although there is a clear feeling of unease, you are not sure yet if the business case for this investment will be convincing. You want to take into account both quantitative and qualitative factors. Migrating or upgrading has the inherent risk of rethinking and redesigning - you want to figure out a way to keep the good and replace the bad and the ugly, while still taking advantage of new features. New versions of any software will always contain some bugs, and downwards compatibility is not always guaranteed. You want to be aware of this in advance, and avoid common risks and pitfalls. Your historic information is essential for comparative analysis, and you want to make sure that data is migrated in a reliable and auditable way.
