Release Overview

This release includes a major push in the FastApp Portal to improve usability and provide functional parity to Profisee Studio as we work to move all aspects of stewardship to a modern web portal. We’ve significantly increased the power and flexibility of our data quality rules by adding our own Excel-like expression language, allowing text, date, and number calculations to be defined as a part of validation and assignment rules. Expressions are a step in our journey to towards enabling Profisee’s data quality rules to be applied flexibly across any system.

Lastly, this release includes a lot of ‘under the surface’ investments to support our move to a cloud native architecture. 2019 R1 includes our first microservices as well as significant architectural investments that will enable containerization of the Profisee Platform as part of our ‘cloud native’ strategy, that will significantly improve implementation flexibility and lower maintenance costs in the future.

We encourage you to watch the overview video below for a brief demonstration of these new capabilities. Additional details can be found below as well as in the release notes that can be downloaded with the software.

Noteworthy enhancements in this release include

A major refinement of the FastApp Portal’s layout, usability, and page and Form management architecture
Enhanced Portal stewardship capabilities in the form of Quick (Bulk) Update and full rich Matching Stewardship functions.
A new Expression Language wrapped into the platform’s Data Quality subsystem allowing dynamic data manipulation during rule execution.
A new File Attachment subsystem allowing users to attach unstructured data – images, office documents, and more – to master data records.
Active Directory group support that simplifies the assignment of roles and permissions to users in Profisee.
Bulk provisioning of staging tables and facilities to streamline your ETL integration efforts.
