Summary
- Unit4 has restated its commitment to supporting and developing its ERP CR (Continuous Release) until at least 2032. This shows Unit4’s focus on providing long-term value and innovation to its customers, giving customers more security and time before making any system changes.
- With Unit4’s move to a fully SaaS model, support has been strong for on-premises clients transitioning to the Cloud. Many customers have chosen to migrate to the ERP Cloud with us. Unit4 ERP Continuous Release (CR) is an important step for our on-premises customers.
- Unit4 ERP CR is a continuous software delivery method, providing users with updates and enhancements without requiring disruptive upgrades.
Unit4 ERP CR (Continuous Release) is essential in transitioning customers to Unit4 ERPx, the next-generation cloud ERP platform, for several reasons:
1. Smooth Transition to ERPx:
- Incremental Updates: CR (Continuous Release) allows customers to gradually adopt new features and improvements that align with the ERPx architecture. This makes the transition smoother, as customers can adapt to changes progressively rather than facing a steep learning curve with a one-time, large-scale migration.
- Consistency and Familiarity: As Unit4 ERP evolves through CR, customers become familiar with the new functionalities and design principles that will be foundational in ERPx. This familiarity reduces resistance and eases the transition.
2. Building Trust and Confidence:
- Proven Value Delivery: By consistently delivering valuable updates through CR, Unit4 demonstrates its commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction. This builds trust, making customers more likely to embrace the shift to ERPx, which promises even greater capabilities and benefits.
- Lower Risk Perception: CR helps mitigate the perceived risks of moving to a new platform. As customers see the success of each incremental update, their confidence in Unit4’s ability to manage larger transitions, like moving to ERPx, increases.
3. Alignment with Future-Ready Technology:
- Early Access to New Features: CR (Continuous Release) often introduces customers to features and technologies that are integral to ERPx, such as AI-driven processes, advanced analytics, and cloud-native capabilities. This early exposure helps customers recognize the advantages of ERPx and the importance of upgrading.
- Cloud Readiness: As CR often includes enhancements related to cloud integration and functionality, customers who may still be on-premise or using hybrid models are gradually prepared for a full cloud migration, which is central to ERPx.
4. Enhanced Business Agility:
- Adaptability to Change: CR fosters a culture of adaptability within the organization. As customers grow accustomed to frequent updates, they become more agile, ready to embrace the more significant changes that come with adopting ERPx.
- Seamless Continuity: By continuously updating their ERP systems, customers ensure that their business processes remain optimized and up-to-date, making the switch to ERPx less disruptive and more of a natural progression.
5. Strategic Path to Modernization:
- Modernization Without Disruption: CR serves as a strategic tool for modernization, allowing customers to adopt new functionalities and modernize their operations step by step. ERPx represents the culmination of these efforts, offering a fully modernized ERP experience.
- Competitive Edge: Customers who embrace CR are better positioned to move to ERPx, gaining a competitive edge by being early adopters of a platform designed for the future of business.
6. Compelling Value Proposition:
- Demonstrated ROI: CR provides a clear, ongoing return on investment (ROI), as customers see continuous improvements and new features. This ongoing value makes the case for ERPx more compelling, as it promises to take these benefits to the next level.
In essence, Unit4 ERP Continuous Release acts as a bridge to ERPx, gradually preparing customers for the enhanced capabilities, cloud-native architecture, and innovative features of the new platform. By maintaining a steady stream of improvements and ensuring a smooth transition, Unit4 makes it easier for customers to embrace ERPx, aligning their business with the future of enterprise resource planning.
