Generally speaking if you migrate from version 4.x to the Cloud there is little involvement needed from IT. The Finance team usually will need to test any reports and/or input forms you have in 4.x that you want to migrate to the Cloud. In some cases report/forms may need to be updated because the Cloud technology is far advanced from the technology 4.x is built upon.
In many cases your existing forms and reports will work just fine. However in certain configurations your reports and/or forms may need updating. Your Partner or our Migration Team can help determine if any updates are needed to the reports and forms you want to migrate.
Your Partner should be able to help you through the process. If you don’t have a Partner or should you still need assistance, email Migration@solverglobal.com.
