RKL eSolutions has completed over one hundred Sage X3 upgrades. Recently, we started using the XTech-Upgrade tool to migrate clients to the most current versions of Sage X3. The upgrade utility was developed by X-Techarts, a Sage ISV partner, in 2018. More than 200 upgrade projects have already been performed using XTech-upgrade tools and methodology. In North-America XTech-Upgrade is distributed by Rebel-Lyon, company led by Danielle Holt, former Director of product management at Sage.

Wouldn’t you like to practice the go-live process before your upgrade?

The first week on a new version of software can be chaotic. With the XTech-Upgrade tool, practice scenarios don’t have to be constrained to two dry runs. Not only does XTech-Upgrade allow users multiple practice sessions, it can reduce a data migration project that would have taken days to several hours. XTech-Upgrade enabled Yakima Chief Hops to go live in only a few hours, delivering a smooth transition from version to version, while providing maximum time for data scrubbing, field preparation, and end-user training.

XTech-Upgrade Benefits

  • 30 mins. - run financials and stock for 3 companies
  • 30 mins. - extract data changes
  • 3 hours - data integration and folder refresh
