New Model analyser module released by Jumar Solutions
As this news release states, upgrading from any previous version of Gen to Gen 7.6 is a fairly major undertaking.
What Jumar have done here is to take their accumulated knowledge of upgrades and apply it to a set of tools.
Project Phoenix is their rejuvenation technology, and one module of that is their new Upgrade Module for 7.6.
Upgrades of any software are always going to be a problem, and whilst there is never a silver bullet to fix all known issues, tools such as this will surely reduce the manpower, risk and worry associated with such upgrades.
It’s a “must have” tool – since many users must be considering a 7.6 upgrade, a tool that tells you where the problems are going to be surely must be high on the shopping list of all upgrading Gen sites.
