As we move further into 2024, WEBCON continues to innovate and improve its Business Process Suite (BPS). Let's explore some of the key updates and new features that have been introduced this year to enhance workflow management and business process automation.
A Fresh Face: UX and UI Overhaul
The first thing you'll notice is the completely revamped user interface. It's not just about looking pretty (though it certainly does); it's about improving how we interact with the platform. Based on Microsoft's Fluent 2 design system, the new UI feels right at home alongside other Microsoft 365 applications.
For example, imagine you're managing a complex approval process. The new UI makes it easier to track the status of each step, with clearer visual cues and more intuitive navigation. It's like going from a cramped economy seat to business class – suddenly, everything feels more spacious and accessible.
Under the Hood: Performance Boost
While not as flashy, the migration to .NET 8.0 and SOLR 9 is a big deal. These updates translate to faster load times and more responsive searches. For instance, if you're running a global search across thousands of documents, you'll notice results popping up much quicker than before.
Widgets and Customisation: Your Process, Your Way
The new widgets feature is a game-changer for data visualisation. Imagine you're tracking project budgets – now you can have a real-time gauge showing spend vs. budget right on your form, updating dynamically as data changes. It's like having a mini-dashboard embedded in your workflow.
Mobile Mastery: Work From Anywhere, Securely
The revamped mobile app is a standout feature. The ability to use biometrics for quick login and receive push notifications has streamlined my on-the-go approvals significantly.
One very exciting feature is the geographical location registration. For field service operations, this could be revolutionary. Imagine a maintenance workflow where technicians can automatically log their location when completing a task, providing valuable data for route optimization and service verification.
Empowering Creators and Admins
The new ToDo List in Designer Studio is a boon for collaboration. When working with a team on process design, having a centralised task list within the platform itself is incredibly useful. It's like having a project management tool built right into your development environment.
The ability to import via Public API is another standout feature. For organisations with multiple environments (dev, test, prod), this could greatly simplify the deployment process. You could potentially set up automated nightly imports from dev to test, ensuring your test environment is always up-to-date.
Conclusion
WEBCON BPS 2024 feels like a significant step forward in making enterprise process management more accessible, efficient, and powerful. Whether you're a long-time user or considering WEBCON for the first time, this release offers compelling reasons to get excited about the future of low-code process automation.
