Product Updates

Hi On-Prem SysAiders, Have you not yet downloaded to the latest release? It’s a shame. There’s too many wonderful features that you’re missing out on. At no extra cost. That’s right. See for yourself what’s included in your SysAid license…. and use it! For example Workflow Designer, which was launched in March 2020. Digitize your workflows! This one’s only available for Full edition license. But even if you have a Basic edition license, there are too many security enhancements in the latest release – that it would be detrimental not to upgrade., BTW, if you are on Basic, the Workflow Designer is an amazing reason to move to Full. Speak to your customer success manager right away. Download now Any questions? Let me know! Cheers, Dena

Security enhancements August 2020: For those of you who enabled the option to allow non-secured (HTTP) access to your SysAid account, please be aware that we’re retiring this option (it’s a checkbox). Instead, all non-secured traffic will be redirected to a secured channel (HTTPS).   Please note that as part of our ongoing commitment to security, we're tightening the secured connection to our services. As of May 10, 2020, we're blocking the older non-supported TLS protocol versions 1.0/1.1, and only allowing the more advanced secured versions. So please be aware that if you're using very old browsers, you won't be able to access our services. You'll need to ensure that all machines that are running the SysAid agent use a .NET Framework of 4.6 or higher that supports higher TLS protocols. For details on browser support for TLS versions, please read this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security#Web_browsers Enforced timeout functionality has been expanded to cover more cases of session inactivity.
