e-Con 2012 R2 - DetailsWith R2, we’ll strengthen our position as a cloud offering with more use of web services, a Windows Azure-based
engine and a new license offering for Software as a Service (SaaS)—fixed price per user per month!
e-Con Cloud Readiness
Microsoft no longer supports XML-based integration for Microsoft Office 2010; as a result, e-Con cannot support an XML-based integration. The e-Con team is carefully
redesigning a robust alternative that will be available for R2.
New Office Integration
e-Con 2012 R2 - DetailsPredefined UI Templates that include grouping, tabs,
message boards, and more will become available in R2. e-Con User Interface Templates
e-Con 2012 R2 will offer a fully redesigned e-Con Portal (also known as the e-Con Suite). The new design will
include a new user experience, cross-browser compatibility, and easier setup.
e-Con Portal
e-Con 2012 R2 - DetailsR2 will introduce wizards for queries and all core library
functions. The formula wizard will also be further enhanced to set logic with more then 2 dependencies.
We will also add new role-based capabilities for the e-Con studio so that users view and use only the information that’s relevant for their role—a streamlined experience
that will save valuable time and increase user satisfaction.
e-Con Studio DSL Enhancements
All functionality is subject to change; we will keep you informed as planning and development proceed for e-Con 2012 R2.
