Opening the door, just a crack
Last year was a big one for us at Questek. We released a major new version of Humanis and launched a major new product add-on called the Humanis Web Portal. Both of these have been hugely successful, but we’ve been working very hard to make this year just as exciting.
For example, we’ve been quietly developing the next release of Humanis which has several huge new features and a lot of improvements to existing features. I’ll be writing in depth about some of these things in the coming weeks and months, but I figured that I’d let you in on a couple of goals for the next version as opposed to writing about the specifics.
With any new version of software, there are three broad goals that we try to achieve:
- Add new things that will appeal to the broadest number of our clients and prospects
- Improve existing things to make them easier to use, easier to learn or more accessible to more people
- Make everything look better, work faster, be more customizable and feel smoother
Version 8.1 is no different. We’re adding some huge new features that will appeal to managers (workflow) and salespeople (marketing campaigns), improving a lot of the existing features that will appeal to everyone (Humanis Today) and recruiters especially (changes to qualifications), and polishing the whole thing to look better and feel better (improved customization of the header and a new summary page).
But this just scratches the surface. We have 19 *major* new and improved features, and that doesn’t include the myriad other minor enhancements under the covers.
Later this week, I’ll start with our first Feature Focus: Workflow - what it means, what it does, and why you’re going to love it.
