ODYSSEY 6.0 MR1 RELEASED

B&L Upgrades Platform

 

 

Bridgman, Michigan, March 15, 2018 - B&L Information Systems has issued Odyssey 6.0 MR1 for general availability. Along with many software improvements, Odyssey 6.0 MR1 includes a new Order Summary screen as another example of B&L’s focus on making ERP software that is easy to use and highly personalized.

With this release came the announcement from the B&L’s R&D department that the frequency of maintenance releases for Odyssey is changing. “Going forward, Odyssey users can expect to see Maintenance Releases from B&L approximately every 4 to 6 weeks,” stated Brad Clark, Odyssey Product Manager. “This revision in Maintenance Release strategy allows the R&D department to focus on creating strong version releases with new features, such as we did with version 6.0 and the Company Goals KPI Dashboards and Flask Management, while addressing fixes and updates with more frequent MRs. This will ensure that issues important to our customers’ business processes are made available in a more timely manner.”

Odyssey 6.0 MR1 features the latest OpenEdge application development platform from Progress Software Corporation, an unbreakable technology platform that has powered thousands of businesses for more than 30 years. Using OpenEdge 11.7.2 to handle factors such as performance and ease of maintenance enables B&L to focus R&D efforts on building more metalcasting industry best practices and business trends into Odyssey.

All Odyssey release information, including for Odyssey 6.0MR1, is now available through Rapid Support.  Rapid Support is available directly within Odyssey Web UI or via the B&L customer portal (Customer Login) for customers on Windows UI. Any assistance needed in the update process is free for any customers on maintenance with B&L. Odyssey customers on the B&L Cloud will be contacted by B&L's Technology Department with the update schedule.
