The Answers Systems ContractPro® Trade Management Application Release 4.0 has been approved for general user availability on the morning of Monday, May 11th, 2009. This release is an interim release intended to address several minor issues and to prepare for upcoming releases. Below are the details of the changes:
Major System Enhancements
- NEW: Athena Reporting Environment* – A major step towards delivery of the full power of the AthenaSM Analytics Engine, the release of a complete redesign of the ContractPro reporting environment is now available. The new environment is extremely simple to learn and even easier to use. Remember, on the surface no changes have been made to your report availability rather, only the look and feel of the reporting pages has changed. The real power of this release is behind the curtain. This release allows us to now begin to deliver our new reporting capabilities inside of the production ContractPro 4.0 environment. In the coming months, all Manufacturer clients will be integrated into this new set of tools and allowed access to powerful Pivot-Style Reporting, traditional 2D Reports and a series of new graphical Dashboards!
- NEW: Font Changes – We have received some great feedback from our User Community regarding the readability of various fonts used within ContractPro. Today’s release includes a number of changes to the text styles used throughout ContractPro including blacker font color, larger fonts and fixed-width fonts for numeric display.
- NEW: New Login Process – The login process used to access ContractPro has changed in this release. Users attempting to access any of the previously available login addresses will be automatically redirected to the new Answers Systems website. Once there, the login process is as simple as it always has been – simply enter your User ID and your Password in the fields provided on the left side of any of the pages within the website and click the Login button! Of course, if you have forgotten your login, simply click the “Forgot Password” link below the login button and fill out the form provided to have an email sent to you containing your freshly reset password!
* Note – This feature requires additional Manufacturer configuration and setup and may not be available for the Manufacturer account(s) that you have access to within ContractPro. To find out more about this feature or to add its capabilities to your instance of ContractPro, contact your Answers Systems Sales Representative or Client Team Leader.
