•Fine balance in deploying upgrades to not be the first, but not to
wait too long. It’s easier to do if you aren’t too far away from the new
release, but you don’t want to be among the first since there are always bugs
to work out. 11i was rolled out 2 years ago, and we are implementing the 9th
version of 11i, benefiting from all the fixes that have taken place.

•Plus it’s harder to get support from the vendor if you are not on the
current release, and we are finding it harder to get support from Oracle
without being on 11i.

•The approach is basically a series of trial upgrades – we plan on
doing 4 –so that, by the real upgrade, the time it takes and the issues that
arise are both minimized. You will see this in the timeline later.
