| Security implications of upgrading. A good Return on Investment is possible: Upgrading your JDE application can have a profound impact on your security controls, which can leave your business exposed if not addressed, and your users unable to carry out their jobs. Upgrading is also a good time to revisit your whole security approach. This session will explore the issues to be considered and suggest a sensible and pragmatic approach to simplifying your security. It will also look at the financial considerations and show how you can cost justify your upgrade.
