Updating your operating system and your OnBase system can help protect you from known or discovered vulnerabilities through timely patches and service packs. However, any updates should be tested first to ensure they do not effect the day-to-day operations of your organization. Some updates may require you to reconfigure parts of your system to allow it to function with the updated software.
OnBase is designed to allow for a full test environment that is an exact mirror of the production environment, or for a phased roll-outs of updates and upgrades using the Incremental Parallel Upgrade Process (IPUP). Both methods allow for an evaluation of changes as they are implemented so you can understand the impact they may have on your environment.
