FOR I.T. EYES ONLY – MAJOR INNOVATION

This release brings a major shift in our technology platform. We have adopted a Web centric approach that uses progressive and responsive frameworks. This means that our new product modules can be used on any platform, such as mobile devices or any traditional desktop environment that uses a modern Web browser.

Our new platform incorporates a distributed messaging service which allows us to synchronize and share data more quickly and efficiently, ensuring that all views reflect the latest and most up to date reality of your production status. We’ve made great strides in the advancement of our overall system architecture to set the stage for future product enhancements which will deliver competitive advantages to you and ensure performance and reliability.

Finally, we have laid the groundwork to provide public facing Web APIs (Application Programmer Interfaces) in future releases that will enable integration with 3rd party products or custom solutions. This opens many possibilities for additional efficiencies and tighter integration with your back office or collaboration systems.
