What's New in ARCHIBUS V.20.2

ARCHIBUS V.20.2 includes enhancements throughout the product.

The Web Central platform adds support for WebKit-compatible browsers, Safari and Google, to support mobile Wi-FI uses of ARCHIBUS. Web Central’s ESRI ArcGIS Online views now have an improved interface, new map layers, and interactive geolocation features.

The Web Central platform also adds new facilities for creating document libraries, event and task notifications, and recurring events. The Compliance Management and Environmental Health & Safety applications employ these new capabilities.

The Smart Client adds Windows-Integrated Authentication, and the Smart Client Extensions for Revit and AutoCAD support Revit 2013 and AutoCAD 2013.

A new Compliance Management application helps property and facility professionals stay on top of construction, zoning, and environmental regulations and events.

A new Reservations Plugin for Microsoft Outlook lets users throughout the enterprise create and manage their ARCHIBUS room reservations directly from within the widely deployed Outlook environment.

There are important enhancements to other ARCHIBUS applications as well. For example, the Real Estate Portfolio Management domain applications add new KPI dashboards, communication logs for leases, and support for the GSA's “2011 Guidance in the US Federal Property Registry.” The Capital Project Management domain applications include S-curve charts to show cumulative costs and labor hours, and notifications for expiration for unallocated funds. And the Environmental Health & Safety application includes a wide range of form, notification, and reporting enhancements.
