We are on the freakin bubble... 30% of the way thru Windchill 9.1 upgrade from IL 3.4 and now being asked to consider implementing WC 10 instead of 9.1. Apparently there are hooks to SAP that are more viable in 10 than in 9.1, and these hooks would be used with a parallel project having a very hard deadline.
My approach has always been to rollout later versions of software after most issues have been worked out (Windchill 10.1?). But the combo of SAP hooks and not repeating the upgrade anguish has caused management to ask me to consider 10.0.
So my question - does anyone have experience they're willing to share regarding Windchill 10... is it stable enough to get basic IL 3.4 functionality without worrying about all the bells and whistles?
I'm going to run this by our implementation team from PTC as well and will post a summary of what I find out.
Thanks for anything you can contribute.
