Although changes to any computing environment require planning and review, hence some effort, the benefits can be considerable. For the LMS, the advantages include:

• New functionality that will enable you to pursue new and exciting initiatives within your organization. For example, new courseware interfaces, new mobile app capabilities, new automatic assignment features, and new external adapters for integrating with thirdparty software systems.
• Improvements in existing user interface (UI) and administrative functions, thus making the LMS more attractive to both learners and administrators by simplifying complex workflows and making the user experience more enjoyable.
• Technical changes that optimize performance, improve security, and automate work activities, thus making the LMS more robust and easy to manage.
• More timely support handling by being on a later release.
  
  Whatever your priorities may be, upgrading is a practical, helpful step in making your LMS more productive and useful for all users throughout the organization.
