• Make sure all custom triggers exist and are attached to the correct tables.

• Update all custom concurrent requests to be “single-mode” for operating units

• You don’t have to cancel or complete workflows prior to the upgrade in order for those to be upgraded.

• Implementation with internal team has greater advantage over external vendor
