We’ve been working on a major new release of our BPM product named QAT Flow and we’re announcing availability of that release in conjunction with a new name for the product, which is “Agility BPM”. We have some other exciting announcements planned around this product for later in the year and this new brand name better reflects the product’s capabilities and fits better in the market space it supports.

We’re in the countdown to the next release of QAT Flow!  With only three weeks left until the expected release date, our team has been working hard to finish up the latest round of features requested by customers.  We’re providing a number of major new features in Release 5 that will make it even more powerful and easier to use.  Of course, our Illustrated User Documentation has also been updated to help you get on track fast!  Here are some of the highlights:

1. Automated Document Generation and Preview – This is a new feature that makes is simple to generate multiple PDF Documents from the data collected by your work flows.  The documents can also be previewed from any step within the workflow and/or directly from the work queue.  (Look for Microsoft Word document support in an upcoming release!)
2. Enhanced Web Queues – We’ve added powerful new search and organization features to the queues.  The new management queue provides the ability to monitor and manage the active work.
3. Design Import / Export – Import and export workflow designs.  This is a great feature that allows us to share and migrate work flow designs.
4. Data Warehouse and Archiving – We’ve included and embedded data warehouse for easy reporting.
5. Email Links – Automatic emails with links to directly open the workflow step.
6. Long Text – This is a new type of parameter for long text entry.
7. Interface Enhancements – We have a new look that is designed to make using the product more intuitive.
