Mon 21 Nov 2011

What to expect from Version 4.5

Version 4.5 is the most important and significant release of the systems@work software to date and includes extensive functional, technical, user interface and platform enhancements

Enhancements include:

systems@work Mobile

Version 4.5 includes the release of Phase 1 of our mobile platform and will allow browser based timesheet and form entry, authorisation and review on iOS, Blackberry and Android devices. Version 4.5 will make it easy to complete a form or timesheet from any mobile device or save it in draft form to be completed from the desktop later.

User Interface

Ease of use has always been at the heart of the systems@work design philosophy. Version 4.5 will build on this and include a completely redesigned browser interface with a cleaner and more modern feel which is consistent with the latest trends in web application usability.

Cloud Readiness

Version 4.5 will include significant technical and functional changes designed to enable Private and Public Cloud implementations of time@work and expense@work. Increasing amounts of the application will be web enabled and most significantly, we will enable access to 3rd party web services such as Exchange Rate providers and Mapping Services. Additionally we will enable points of data entry for additional zero-deployment devices, and points of use for programs such that you will be able to submit images and documents to using photocopiers, scanners and mobile or tablet cameras.
