My vendor says I need to upgrade again, can I skip this cycle?

Skipping one version is often fine, skipping two or three becomes risky. The question is not just price, but also security support and compatibility.

Try this first

  1. 1Check how long your current version is supported for security updates, that is your hard deadline.
  2. 2Skipping one version is usually manageable, provided the later A-to-C upgrade is still supported.
  3. 3Plan for higher migration costs on a big jump: more changes, more training, more integrations to re-fit.
  4. 4Schedule upgrades in a quiet season and not right before your busiest month or an audit, the stress compounds.
