Clarity Software launches new v4.0 of Clarity Professional this week. Containing a fresh icon, a wealth of new functionality and hundreds of architectural developments, version 4.0 is Clarity's biggest upgrade release since v3.0 was deployed in 2005.
Richard Gamlin, Clarity Software’s Managing Director, was delighted with the response to v4.0’s new features received from customers who saw it unveiled at the Clarity User Group Meeting in October. “Version 4.0 is a significant release for Clarity, providing some fantastic new day-to-day features to help customers increase their efficiency”, Gamlin said.
“Value-add enhancements such as Microsoft Outlook integration, spellcheck and increased JDF compatibility sit alongside our superb new browser-based Shop Floor Data Collection (SFDC) module. This has been successfully Beta tested at selected customer sites, returning excellent time and cost-saving benefits for them. SFDC runs on Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer and paves the way for Macs and PCs to work together within the workplace.”
Some of the most important modifications, however, can be found under the bonnet of v4.0. Clarity Software’s Road Map for the next couple of years is an exciting and challenging one, so the architecture has been restructured to allow for the significant expansions it has planned.
David Steward, Clarity Product Designer and Developer, disclosed: “The real jewels of v4.0 are not that obvious and are largely invisible to our users. We needed to lay the foundations and install a toolkit for the new features we shall be launching in 2011, when Clarity will augment radical new directions in its product growth.”
But Steward was equally quick to highlight the additional functionality available right now: “You will be far from disappointed this week, as we have incorporated some superb wish list items and advancements, including improved multi-user price list control, printable calendars and data grids, a more user-friendly Calc-Wizard setup and Sage 2011 integration. These will help our users streamline their daily processes immediately.”
Clarity Professional v4.0 and Clarity Lite Edition v4.0 will be rolled out to its users from Wednesday 24th November. For those wishing to experience the product, free trials of Clarity Professional v4.0 can be found at www.claritypro.com/trial.
Clarity Free Edition, currently at v1.4, is penned for a v2.0 upgrade next year.
