I am new in my position and althoguh I have project management experience, I have never managed a software upgrade. What are the typical steps? Does anyone have a workplan they would be willing to share?

Thanks

Change in software version earlier proposed by contractor

An external software company is working for us on a project. They are proposing to supply a new release of software. The original software was certified to meet our requirements.

Features of the new release of software are claimed to correct some longstanding user annoyances whilst offering some new features. They are keen to use or compay as their reference site for future sale, but currently software is not on general release.

What should we do?

What is the best way to persuade a security manager to upgrade poorly outdated software/devices?

I’ve mentioned security risk, not to mention how upgrading will do a world of good and provide more features to allow us to enhance our tools to make us more productive.
I come from an ISP where IT was not a cost center.
I may be spoiled, but we are running on Hoary, and everything is manual it seems.
I want to develop – but can’t due to the outdates server OS and limitations beyond my control.
I need a way to actually convince them that the cost of upgrading is well worth it.
Please refrain from “break it beyond repair” I’ve thought of that – but it’s not a very good way to build rapport with my peers
