Are You Tired of the Software Upgrade Treadmill?

March 24, 2008 · Filed Under Business, Technology 

Ah, there is nothing better than spending hours and weeks trying to solve one little annoying problem only to stump the technical support engineers so badly that the only thing they can say is that we need to upgrade our software yet again… I am told we are pretty far behind, and it would be advisable to upgrade!

Geez, I just loaded “the latest” software in December, and 3 months later I am pretty far behind? Now, I am used to recommending customers stay up-to-date with patches and security holes, but to have a major release for core infrastructure stuff - business affecting systems - is, well, a tad agresssive.

Needless to say, I can’t go forward with my technical support issue until this is put to bed so let’s hope the upgrade process goes smoothly (crossing my fingers)…

Does anyone else get a little frustrated with this? Is the breakneck pace of software upgrades in your buiness, well, breaking your neck?

    • A little disclaimer...

      In this day and age, people don't seem to get that you can have an opinion of your own, and that people are entitled to a responsible opinion. As such, ChangeForge is a place for me to post opinions on various things relating to business and technology. These opinions are those of the author alone, and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of respective employers, co-workers, or those referenced within this site. If you take issue with these opinions, you are most welcome to move on to another slice of the cloud. My hope, however, is that you will engage in some level of an intellectual debate in an effort to learn something, teach me something, or simply make the world just a little better...
