Need help updating your ERP environment?

As already mentioned, we advise everyone to map out the impact of a release before installing it. By doing this and testing, you can avoid problems with, for example, customization or add-ons.

Focus Enterprise Solutions can help you with this. We have developed SURA (Service Update Release Assistance) especially for Microsoft’s service updates and Waves. We will take a look and draw up a plan of action that we will discuss with you. Together we will look at whether and what needs to be done before we install the new release. This prevents surprises afterwards and you can therefore install a new release without any worries.
