Power Broker Version 4.0 Progress Update February 6/2008 -

Version 4.0 is now operating in 89 brokerages.  These 89 are primarily new sales made since August of 2007, and those that purchased in 2006 and 2007 that were promised version 4.0 as part of the sale.  There are 24 more brokerages that meet the 2006 and 2007 purchase criteria that still need to be upgraded to version 4.0. 

We have allowed the version 4.0 upgrade to be purchased and installed in a few of our larger existing customers in order to enable us to determine how various facets are working in large network environments.  We have been making the required amendments over the past 6 months.  Power Broker 4.0 is based on Microsoft Visual FoxPro 8.0 and as such is a 32 bit application.  It is much more aware of the distributed data processing environment and runs exceptionally faster in the Terminal Services environment and for remote connectivity over the InterNet.  File Server database manipulation is also considerably faster, making the whole product run a lot faster within your office network.  Integration with a host of Microsoft Product is much tighter, comprehensive and easier to use.  Integration support is maintained for all versions of Microsoft Word and Microsoft Outlook.  CSIO Standards are meticulously adhered to and the latest version of the Standards is supported.  All CSIO Forms are present and current.  The Scanning, Image Attachment module has been greatly expanded to included virtually any type of image, voice or video file, and includes a tremendous integration capability with NexiSys.  Policy Control records are gone.  The Home Page functionality has been expanded.  We have diligently preserved much of the look and feel of Power Broker v3, thereby significantly reducing the need for re-training staff.  The list of enhancements is substantial.

We have invested almost 2 years, bringing Power Broker back to current day software and technology standards.  This should protect your investment in Power Broker for another 10 years.  We should be able to start scheduling upgrades commencing March 1st.

Update Information June 7/2006

If your brokerage purchased Power Broker after June 1,2005 or plan on purchasing Power Broker before August 31st, 2007, you will not be subject to the Power Broker version 4.0 upgrade prices indicated above.






Power Broker version 4.0 was under development from June 1, 2006 until February 29, 2008  ( 21 months ).  Since March 1st we have been working on version 4.1 and expect to continue to issue updated releases of version 4.1 with more and more upgrades for several months to come.

Steve Zylak




The project to migrate Power Broker to the Visual FoxPro 32 bit architecture is now underway. We expect to begin delivering Power Broker Version 4.0 by the end of the second quarter of 2007.  Once Power Broker Version 4.0 is launched, all future software development work will occur only in the Power Broker Version 4.0 product. 

There will be a one-time upgrade fee charged to move from Power Broker for Windows to Power Broker Version 4.0, and it will be based on the number of users in your license. Here is a preliminary estimate of this fee, but it is subject to change prior to the release date.

 
  UserLicense Level   Upgrade Price  
  Single User   $500  
  2-5 Users   $1,000  
  6-10 Users   $2,000  
  11-15 Users   $3,000  
  16-25 Users   $4,000  
  26-35 Users   $5,000  
  36-50 Users   $6,000  
  51+ Users   $7,000  
  Plus tax -   Contact Sales  

Essentially, you will have until December 31, 2010, to move to the Power Broker Version 4.0 software. Recognize though that the Power Broker for Windows product is no longer being enhanced or programmed in any way and software update key files for Power Broker version 3.32 will not be created beyond December of 2010.
