11. © 2007 Progress Software Corporation 11 DEV-17: Benefiting from OpenEdge 10 without Disrupting your Applications’ Lifecycle Why haven’t you made the move? You told us: Business-oriented reasons  I don’t need new functionality or features  I don’t have the resources for upgrading, migrating and/or transforming  I can’t count the users or they only use the application a couple of times a month but there’s no agent based pricing anymore  The benefits of rolling out the new release do not outweigh the cost Development-oriented reasons  I don’t have the assets and skills to take advantage of the new features  I don’t have customer requirements that force to move forward  There are no new technologies that I’m forced to leverage  Service Oriented Architecture, OpenEdge Reference Architecture, Application Transformation Approach, it’s just too complex for me  Can I learn and try before I buy (in)? If the benefits don’t seem to outweigh the cost, there’s no reason to move…
