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