Next Gen Development for Millennium

III announced the next generation of development for Millennium at the recent Innovative Users Group Conference. The Sierra Services Platform features a modern programming architecture including a fully relational database. Review yesterday’s press release @ http://iii.com for details.

The new platform includes a new integrated client which will provide full Millennium functionality upon migration (unlike Millennium, in which modules were introduced in successive releases). The client employs a single pull-down menu to access functions rather than the current complex assortment of modules and modes assigned by a user login. III emphasized that this is not a new product but a move to a sustainable architecture to improve continuing development.
