Take a rest IT admin guy! (Forward compatibility)

Tired after your big day upgrading your Vault server, watching the migration bar slide across the screen?  You just want to go home and lie down, maybe play some second life?  You certainly don’t want to be walking around and updating client machines do you?

Well good news, any client side installs you have that currently connect to ADMS 2012 will, without any further updates connect to ADMS 2013.  This means that if you have back patched Vault 2011 or using Vault 2012 currently these integrations will continue to work.

Backwards
Before you ask, no, this doesn’t mean that Vault Basic 2012 will connect to Vault Professional 2013 ADMS but, Vault Professional 2012 will.  And no, you are not going to get all the fancy new client side functionality but what you will get is some additional time to migrate across your entire work force.  This means we get the database heavy lifting over and done with out of hours, you can set up our CAD and Vault deployments and gradually do the client side rounds to deploy the full 2013 solution, typically CAD and PDM at the same time.  

Not bad huh – same amount of work but carried out at your convenience, a rested IT Admin is a happy IT Admin!
