What are the advantages of a staged upgrade strategy?
Some of the advantages of a staged upgrade strategy are: • More control over the progress and the cost of the upgrade project. • Minimized risk, because you return the application to a stable production-quality state after each stage. • Upgraded components can often immediately benefit from the performance and scalability features of .NET without having to wait for the entire application to be upgraded. • Upgrading of the low priority or costly portions of an application can be postponed indefinitely, resulting in a partial upgrade.
