PRLog (Press Release) - May 08, 2007 -
looksoftware announces Version 8.1 of it’s modernization suite which includes support for Microsoft Outlook® and Google™ Gadgets.


Key Highlights of Version 8.1 include:

Support for Microsoft Outlook® and Google™ Gadgets

With 60% of the market and growing, according to results published by the Radicati Group, MS Outlook® is fast becoming the predominant email product of choice in the corporate marketplace. So, looksoftware’s announcement of seamless integration for System i applications with MS Outlook®, provides many business users with the benefit of having their applications imbedded in their rich client interface of choice.  

Likewise, it is estimated that Google™ is the search engine of choice for 64% of users, so once again looksoftware’s move to provide an integrated thin client interface for business applications with Google™ Gadgets will provide a real benefit to users of the looksoftware modernization suite.

soarchitect’s transaction recorder feature has been enhanced to provide these new features which take it beyond the current capabilities with typical portal environments like WebSphere® Portal and SharePoint®.

 
Improved Change Management and Support for Automated Testing

Responding to customer and partner feedback, looksoftware announces further enhancements to its Change Management feature and testing tools. These will allow a system test to be recorded and replayed. The XML based tool compares the results of multiple tests, and identifies potential errors and the scope of impact of planned changes.
