Why Upgrade Your DELMIA Quintiq Solution?

When business operations are steady and consistent, it can be tempting not to prioritize software upgrades. But a recent survey of The Logic Factory (TLF)’s customers found that compatibility and security were the most commonly cited benefits of upgrading software. As you’ll know only too well, very few planners can afford to take risks in either of those areas!

To stay ahead of any potential issues and capitalize on your maintenance investment, it’s good practice to evaluate a DELMIA Quintiq upgrade once a year at the very least. Did you know, for example, that DELMIA Quintiq’s most recent software releases have additional capabilities and technical improvements that help provide a more sophisticated solution to unlock both business value and new opportunities?

4 Reasons Why You Should Upgrade Your DELMIA Quintiq Solution

To modernize the toolbox at your disposal, take advantage of the benefits of a DELMIA Quintiq upgrade, including:

1.Improved performance

- Enhanced server and user interface (UI) performance allows for seamless integration into customer ecosystems and better compatibility with recent versions of the platform and database.
- Results in a better user experience for your planners and improves their efficiency. It also increases optimizer iterations within a time period, leading to better results in less time.

2.Improved availability

- The DELMIA Quintiq Dataset Store (DSS) and improved backup support result in significantly reduced startup times.
- DELMIA Quintiq Planning solutions are essential for your organization’s operations (especially when used to solve operational planning challenges), so the solution needs to be ready to use at any time with downtime minimized. Business continuity is key.

3.Improved security

- This is achieved by leveraging new standards in encryption and authentication.
- Staying up to date with security mechanisms is required to address risks robustly. Security policies are becoming more demanding as cyber security risks are increasing. Standards like Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) allow leveraging external identity providers which support multi-factor authentication, and new versions of transport encryption provide stronger/better protection.

4.Improved compatibility

- Seamless integration within your unique IT landscape and deployment of the latest operating systems can be achieved.
- DELMIA Quintiq Planning solutions don’t work in isolation. They must be embedded in your evolving IT landscape, support new technologies and standards, and evolve with your IT landscape when more modern technologies are adopted.

Additional upgrade benefits can be unlocked through consultation with our support team, and these include:

Better optimization results, in shorter timescales, through distributed optimization
Better scalability through additional background and remote processing
The leveraging of more up-to-date integration technologies and standards
The provision of a web-based user experience through the new HTML-based web client
