Upgrade software from 4R4 to 4R5

This fast growing national retailer presented an unrealistic deadline for total software upgrade on JDA® MMS®. Plus, it was critical that all necessary client modifications were not lost with the upgrade.

The Great Woods Group reviewed the client's modifications and the existing 3rd party interfaces to the JDA® MMS ® . We determined if the modifications were addressed by the upgrade, then merged the modifications with the new upgrade. The GWG team created test plans to ensure that the data converted correctly using four separate methods including parallel reports, record count comparisons, data base maintenance edits, and hash totals for pertinent numeric fields. Then we created proprietary test plans to ensure that the client modifications of the "Business Critical Paths" had been merged correctly.

The client's deadline was met with minimal post implementation support required.
