Major Release this August

We are very excited as we prepare for our first major upgrade after the launch. The upgrade is planned for 1st August if we are able to get things right.

In this release, we further push the barriers of the ERP by including social networking features. A company is also a social organization along with being a commerical one. We want our users to be able make social relationships in the company, communicate in familiar ways and share information using our social networking features.

We are also planning is to throw open our powerful customization tools to the users. In the first release, we restricted the customization to ensure ease of setup but with more and more customers demanding it, we are planning to throw all the settings open.

We also have learnt from our your feedback on making the setup process simpler, so we are going to completely re-design our setup tools. We studied other apps such as Salesforce.com, Zoho and Freshbooks to understand the best practices in each of them. We will now bring all setup under one page so that you know where to go when you setup the system.

Along with this we will also release numerous patches and fixes and also launch a brand new Maintenance Module. We are also aware of the quality issues many of you have reported. We as an organization have discussed this extensively and will include more and more ways to release with testing as many scenarios as we can.

Cheers
