Upgrade Consultancy.
As a Unit4 Preferred Upgrade Partner our approach to upgrades is entirely consistent with the package approach created by Unit4. In addition, we are able to call upon the skills and resources of Unit4 where necessary to ensure that your upgrade receives the attention it requires.
There are three upgrade packages available, each one designed to meet the specific needs of our customers. The packages are:
- Technical Compliant
- Technical Compliant Plus
- Value Added
The table below outlines what each of these packages have to offer, helping you to understand which is the best option for your organisation. Further details of these packages can be found at:

All our packages are ‘wrapped up’ in a Project Management methodology which is designed to protect the core upgrade and ensure the correct balance of consultancy time is expended on all areas of the project. This is achieved by breaking the project down into a number of jobs, prioritising them and monitoring progress and time spent to ensure that resources are utilised as planned.
Upgrading to Agresso 5.5.3 provides in excess of 300 product enhancements and ensures you remain on a Supported Version and will provide the best platform from which take advantage of the introduction of key functionality such as Workflow, Payroll, Fixed Assets, Planner, Field Force and much more.
Through the implementation of a few simple but key new features, organisations are able to see significant efficiency improvements. Many organisations have changed since they first implemented Agresso. These packages enable your system to be brought back in line with how your organisation is now working.
Don't forget 'End User Training' when you're planning your upgrade.
