We have a customer that is interersted in upgrading from ASA 9.0.2 to 11.0.1
(at least we're trying to get them interested).

Since we will not be making huge changes to their current schema and don't
having any pending software changes, can someone give me some good reasons
to go to the customer with to upgrade to 11.0.1 other than having them on
the latest and greatest?

Is there greater stability or will we see better performance because of
enhancements done to 11.0.1?

Thanks

We are using 7,9,11 and recently the Innsbruck beta and I
must say the biggest difference for us between 9 and 11 has
been performance. 11 is quite impressive compared to 9.

Also, SQL Anywhere 9 is End of Life at the end of the month.

Usually I'm on the side of the angels: "Upgrade now! Hurry!"

....but let me offer some words from The Dark Side: 9.0.2 is stable, it
performs well, and in spite of the "end of life" announcement it will
be supported for years to come (it just won't have any new bug fixes).

Consider this: 9.0.2 just got an EBF to support Windows 7 and 2008
Server. That tells me iAnywhere believes 9.0.2 has a bright future for
years to come.

Aw, gee, they still answer questions about 5.5, and so do I

If you haven't already, you should skim through the "whats new" section of
the docs to see if there are any features that may be of interest to your
customer:

This chapter of the docs has separate sections which outline what is new for
both v10 and v11:
